RPG employees have chosen their goals in life, and it's not to get rich. Besides which, where's the money coming from? It's hard when dealing with something that's already hypothetical, but Hasbro isn't going to spend more to keep people then it looks like they'll make from keeping them. Large sums to existing employees make this even more financially absurd from Hasbro's perspective.Where do you get six near-clones of Pathfinder? I see two, maybe. Anybody with the money to be a serious contender knows there's no money to be made if there's six near-clones; either they will work with the leader or they'll stay out of the market.If we wanted 5E, we knew where to find it. You've destroyed the system we invested hundreds into and you think we're just going to wander towards Hasbro?That is not essentially the same product. Let's say that Microsoft bought out Apple. Do you think that Apple people would leave Windows 10 slowly? Hasbro, an international conglomerate with 10,000 employees has just bought out a small private company for the purpose of crushing a competing game. The response is not going to be quiet or slow, and I don't think there's much that Hasbro could do about that . A good number of their customers are going to swear to never buy anything from Hasbro, and if there is no heir apparent, they may stop buying any significant amount of product at all. We all know groups that played 3.5 for years after it stopped being supported.</blockquote>
