[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6557514, member: 55961"] So what? We're RPG players. You had lots of people saying 4e sucked on boards and surprise, 4e tanked. A lot of people on boards were saying PF was great. Surprise, it did very well. We are a reflection of the gaming community. Yeah, no. The companion was cancelled. We have no idea if the next path will have one. We do not even know if they will release another path this year. None i announced. They could always cancel it like the splatbook was cancelled. Ok. So how about one book a month? Or one every two months? That is much slower than previous editions and much slower than Paizo who is making a buck with it frenetic release schedule. Why not? They did it before. 4e Ravenloft was announced during 2010's GenCon. It was supposed to be released during August of 2011 if I am not mistaken. Paizo announces its products at least 6 months in advance. If not more. It isn't impossible for WotC either. We were aware of PotA in August of 2014 for a March 2015 release. 7 months in advance. It got push back by three weeks, but that stuf happens, no biggy. May 2016? If they did it, it would let us know more. That is the gist of communications. Sharing information. But will D&D be fine without a steady stream of income? Are licenses alone enough? That is what I'm asking. Can it sell stuff without good word of mouth? Bad word of mouth didn't help 4e. Doesn't sound moribund when it is growing. [url]http://icv2.com/articles/news/view/30959/six-straight-growth-years-hobby-games[/url] [/QUOTE]
