[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4117028, member: 9053"] I just wanted to say that "just because" is certainly not the primary reason I believe people will change. Certainly new people who start playing D&D will be playing 4E, but that's because it's what's on the shelf. I am also sure that there will be many people who will try it out to see what's new and enjoy it enough to keep playing. For me, and for a lot of ENWorlders, we'll be switching because 4E fixes problems that we had with 3X. I haven't played the full game yet, but from what I have seen, it will allow me to better tell the kind of stories that I want to tell. I'm sure there are other reasons for changing over as well, and as to what percentage of people will switch for which reason, I have no idea. I will say, for the record, that most people will change, and that the number of people who keep playing 3X will steadily decrease. I'd happily make a gentleman's wager on this if I had any way to verify the numbers. Will this be enough for Paizo to stay in business? I have no idea. I don't know what kind of print runs their products have, but if we're talking 3-5000 copies, I would say it's extremely unlikely that you'll see that many books moving for a single adventure any more. --Steve [/QUOTE]
