[QUOTE="TheLe, post: 4180451, member: 3981"] Sorry for the late response. I feel that WOTC's handling of the 4e situation has been questionable at best so far, and right now it feels like many players will not be converting to 4e just yet. The coming of Pathfinder will simply reinforce this fracture even more, which is probably a bad thing for a publisher like me, but good for players since it gives you more options. After all, people are still playing AD&D 1e and 2e out there, but things are a bit different this time -- many people like 3.x and want to stick with it, and they will. I'd like to continue to publish 3.x, but honestly it all depends if it is financially feasible. If sales dry up for 3.x, then it becomes harder to justify it. Not to mention WOTC has still not officially told us if we are allowed to publishing 3.x stuff at all! I think pathfinder will do fine for a while, but it's hard to stop the 10,000 pound wotc-gorilla forever. As much as people complain about 4e being so different, I think in the end they will come around if it is a good system. Even people who [i]say[/i] they are not converting will most likely purchase the DMG and PHB, which is WOTC's bread and butter. So, what do I think about Pathfinder? I think it may do fine the six months, but the popularity and sales around it could drop significantly afterwards. `Le [/QUOTE]
