Haw DARE WotC fix a broken product, then give it to the entire world for free?! I am personally insulted, and this is proof that WotC hates me, specifically me! Good grief.I shudder to think of how certain players will react when D&D 4th Edition is announced.Actually, I'm sort of looking forward to that, in a "tease the kids who ride the short bus" kind of way.Seriously, I'm shocked at how folks are outraged or surprised by changes to the rule set/new releases of the core D&D rules. D&D is a franchise, and just like James Bond, Magic, Windows, Harry Potter, or any other non-consumable franchise product, we're going to see consecutive editions as long as WotC is able to make them and we're all willing to buy them.Arguing about specific changes to the rules, or the layout of the books, or whatever is all fine and good--that's what fan sites are for. But complaining when WotC acts on those rules arguments by releasing a Revised Edition? Wow. We know that WotC *will* "revise [the rules] further." Common business sense tells us that WotC will release new editions to the D&D community. A rational company would not ignore the opportunity, and we've got to assume that WotC is rational.Example:You really like rocks. I have blue rocks for sale. You buy my blue rock. You mostly enjoy your blue rock, although you're not 100% satisfied with the color. Since you already have a blue rock you won't buy any more. But my market research tells me that if I make a red rock, you'll probably buy it. Why in the world would I choose to *not* make and sell you that red rock?-z</blockquote>
