It's like all the benefit in flexibility of having your own system goes away because you're stuck adhering to some other rule set elements and instead all you end up with is all of the risk of hinging your company's success on your own system. If you're adopting that risk, might as well make the best rule system you can. If hybridizing 3.5 and 4e creates the best system, go for it, but I think they can do better starting from scratch.I also think their business model (monthly releases, subscription, campaign length/serial format products) is best supported by aligning with 4E.</blockquote>
