[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9431778, member: 6801845"] I agree, but I will also say that IMHO the 5E rules have more staying power simply because they provide better support for the entire life cycle of a PC. While I never got to particularly high levels in TSR versions of D&D because we never rewarded XP for GP, both 3.x and 4 kind of fell apart at higher levels for completely different reasons. I know some people say high level play doesn't work in 5E either, but I've seen it multiple times now with only minimal house rules. But I don't know if anyone really knows why 5E has been as successful as it has been. It just seems to hit a sweet spot for what a lot of people want out of the game. Whether it will continue to be the more-or-less right product at the right time remains to be seen. As far as the subscription service, times are-a-changing and the new models are simply more feasible and easier to implement than they've ever been. On the other hand don't discount that they're still selling plenty of PHBs for a TTRPG after a decade. [/QUOTE]
