[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 6223496, member: 10447"] As others have said, I think it will be strong out of the gate. Beyond that - it depends. If WotC uses the same strategies it has used for 3E, 3.5E and 4E, it will fail* within 4 years. However, if they employ a different strategy with different expectations, it could well succeed for many years. I do think it will be a solid game for those who don't already have a D&D edition (or similar game like Pathfinder) that they already love. Now, what will be fascinating for me to watch is how they support *all* D&D. Greg Leeds indicated that going forward it was WotC's desire to support all D&D players - regardless of what edition is played. That could be awesome - or it could be a train wreck. :) Time will tell.... *Fail, in this case, means it will not sell enough for WotC/Hasbro's taste. [/QUOTE]
