[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 7992934, member: 27996"] The drop actually [I]was[/I] solely due to D&D's edition change. 4e was a very unpopular (By D&D standards) edition. And pathfinder had already begun to outsell 4e [I][U]On Merit [/U][/I]in early 2011.

I'd bet good money that this was not a small factor in WOTC's decsision to begin work on a new edition. No. It died early because it started to get outsold by a clone. This. Mearls is [I]OUT[/I]. No one knows what WOTC will do next. IMHO, if there is any kind of consistent dip in 5e sales between now and the next 4 years - I think that a 6th edition on the 50th anniversary of D&D will be too big of a marketing opprtunity for WOTC to resist... .
