[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4461464, member: 710"] Well, from my [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/240031-4e-d-d-you-playing-already-ever.html]last poll[/url] on the matter, I could conclude that 22% of the EN Worlders that bothered to post in the poll and own the 4E books did not like the game (after reading or playing). On the other hand, I heard that 4E is in its 3rd print run and has already achieved its projections for 2008, with still 3 years to go. (I am not sure where that source was, I remember having read something along that lines in an ampersand or something like that, but there might be more recent information.) Well, using self-selecting EN World polls to prove or conclude anything is frowned upon and probably a bad idea, but assuming these information came together to provide us a "worst-case" scenario and the fact that 22 % of the buyers might not like it was somehow not accounted for in original projections for 4E (and so they would assume their letter retainment rates on 100 % of the core book owners buyers - which is already unlikely), 4E still seems to go well. ;) Maybe more people then should have bought the game, but even removing them from the buylist will give WotC the profits they hoped for originally. Of course, EN World could just present a best case scenario and I should make the poll on rpgnet and the Paizo forums... But well, there is only so much I am going to do... [/QUOTE]
