You assume that companies have their fans who will stick to them no matter what happens. Though there are a few people like that, this is not the norm. Generally, it doesn't matter to the D&D consumer (that one who's open to d20) who delivers the new stuff, they just want the new stuff. If it's only WotC that produce 4.0 product, it will be WotC that get the sales.I'm not dodging that question, I have already answered that one in several of my posts above; no point in repeating this. Ironically, I think that it's you who is not taking the changed conditions into account. With D&D 3.0, WotC was dealing with lots of nameless d20 companies that were no real competition; the only big weight was WW, but they dropped the ball on quality and have since left the d20 market (I still don't know whether this sloppy production was on purpose or not <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). With the advent of 4.0, WotC will have to deal with a bunch of high-quality competitors that know the d20 pond inside-out and also know how to draw customers to themselves. It's, indeed, a completely different situation <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.</blockquote>
