[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 4912450, member: 8461"] The things that WotC would need to do to win me back are the things they'd almost certainly never do. I quite enjoy 3.5/Pathfinder. While the 4E rules system itself is very good at accomplishing what it was made to do, what it was made to do doesn't feel like D&D to me. Hence, there's really nothing that WotC can do to interest me in playing it. Now, if they started getting active with 3.5, the OGL, or older edition products, I'd get interested in a hurry. Whether it was bringing back digital sales of older edition materials (in a way that lets you own it forever after one purchase), adding new 3.5 material to the SRD, or even putting 4E under the OGL so that it could be freely tweaked and modified (which I think would allow a truly stunning 3E/4E hybrid to be created), those would all be things that would make me seriously consider giving them my money. As it stands now, I haven't spent a dime on them since 4E came out, and I don't intend to under the current status quo. That last point isn't helped by the way they're running their company now, either. Killing the print magazines, taking forever and a day to get the DDI up and running (and from what I understand, it still doesn't do everything they promised), the absolute fiasco with the GSL, pulling all PDF sales, the fansite "policy," and on and on, they just aren't a company I have faith in any longer. I don't expect that WotC will make older edition materials available, nor add more content to the SRD or OGL; and if they're not interested in doing those things, I'm not interested in them. [/QUOTE]
