[QUOTE="Eirikrautha, post: 6343669, member: 6777843"] I have to disagree with that. I just got back into gaming about 6-8 months ago after a 10+ year hiatus, so you might consider me one of the "lapsed" players, but I have been playing PFS and a home game weekly for 7+ months now. Coming back to gaming, Pathfinder was really the only choice for the D&D player (I know that there are many other games out there, but when you walk into your local gaming store and ask about groups looking for players, you either get PFS or WH40K, with the occasional Star Trek/Wars minis game thrown in... in my experience). In talking with others, I also know that a lot of people left D&D during the "Great Split" not because they wanted to play 3.75, but because they didn't want to play 4e. I think that anyone who harkens back to the 1e/2e days and looks for that kind of flavor will find it more readily in 5e than PFS. No other game out there could leverage what Paizo has done with PFS except WotC, and WotC wasn't selling what those gamers wanted. If WotC can provide a solid community of games/gamers, you may very well see them cannibalize some PF players... [/QUOTE]
