[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8550219, member: 84112"] it didn't fail... we had people try to define failure as being the 4th-20th best athlete in the world to describe the 'fail' that one I will give you... Wizards looked at how it was doing and said "we can do better, we can grow more" by every measure 5e is a more successful game then 4e, but by every measure jeff bazos is more a success then the guy who owns the billion dollar company I work for, and he is more successful then my boss's boss's boss who 'only' makes mid 6 figures a year... but calling any of them failures falls flat. nope... lie/misunderstanding/meme here... pathfinder didn't outsell 4e until wotc stopped pushing 4e. it DID compete more then any other game did... but it was always at best a close second, never first. winning a race the day the guy faster then you went on a date instead of running doesn't make you faster. um that part of there new stratagy was playtesting publicly? how much time was between the last 2e supplement and 3e, I know there were months of build up to 4e too... again we get "By this metric that every edition failed" it did not fail [/QUOTE]
