[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 3814428, member: 14197"] I don't have sales numbers to provide, but I imagine that releasing 2 or 3 good 4e products in September and October of next year, missing GenCon and maybe 2-3 months of sales post-4e release, will eventually sell more copies and be more fruitful than working on, and releasing a 3.75 product that will have a limited user base. Then you'd have to keep making 3.75 products so that all those months of 3.75 development didn't go to waste. I think being a few months late on a 4e product and focusing on the newest edition of the worlds most popular RPG will put more coins in the pockets of 3rd party publishers in the long run. I don't think a 3.75 game will "come out of nowhere". It would have to be a new system, playing style or genre to do that. And building a system that is wedged between 3.5e and 4e would not be innovative, but simply a stopgap measure until they can produce 4e products. That's not really something I'd want to sell to my boss, if I was responsible for coming up with a new business idea. [/QUOTE]
