[QUOTE="Spatula, post: 4749886, member: 2198"] Give me something that isn't pure conjecture and I can address it. I probably wouldn't bother, because I have no horse in this race, but at least you would have a valid point then. What outside parties think is going to happen to D&D in the future is mostly useless, in the same way that a layman's thoughts on what the weather is going to be in the future are mostly useless. Hey, when I woke up this morning and there were dark clouds overhead, I was positive it was going to rain. One precipitation-less hour later, the sun was out. Maybe the reactionary decision-makers will think they have reason to make more cuts, maybe they won't. It could be that sales will slide down because 4e has no evergreen product or it could be that sales are actually healthy. Perhaps the global recession will kill the RPG market, or perhaps D&D is somewhat recession-proof. We have no way of knowing - not being privy to internal WotC sales data, debates, & politics - and neither does Dancey. Unless he's reading someone else's emails again. :) [/QUOTE]
