[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9430619, member: 6801845"] It's only going to last 3 years and there's not going to be another version ever is pretty much a doomsday scenario. Except now you're qualifying that with saying you're talking about that there will be splat books ... which is not at all the same thing as what happened with 3E. I doubt we will have to wait 3 years for the first splat book. As far as going all digital I'll believe it when I see it, it's not going to be any time soon. I think it's a claim being pushed for eyeballs by certain streamers that has no basis in reality. On Amazon alone they're still selling thousand of PHBs every month and have been for a long time. Are they providing digital options? Of course. But the cost of printing the books is minimal compared to the cost of the development of what goes into the books and a lot of people still like physical copies. At the same time I see no reason to think we'll see "digital updates" at the level of the 2014 revisions any time soon. It' been a profitable business model for them, there's no reason to change. Unless of course there's some kind of doomsday scenario. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
