[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4750115, member: 66434"] I think CardinalXimenes had a good point about the 0 delay acquisition of new products. This goes right along with the general instant gratification needs of our times. Nowadays, waiting for anything is unbearable because we have become so spoiled by technology. The bolded part deserves special comment. As a consumer of older edition material I am comfortable saying that this is not true for everyone. It was a heavy handed "buy 4E and like it" move designed to try and bury older edition products. Its what I would do if I only cared about making money instead of giving customers the product they wanted. If I had plans to release a crappy watered down copy of a popular setting or adventure then I certainly wouldn't want to also have the higher quality original version sitting on the virtual shelf for comparison. If the best real competition that you have for a product is your own earlier version of it then its time to revisit your current product and ask: why would my customers be more interested in my older products? When you are ready to accept the answer to that question, you will have found enlightenment.;) [/QUOTE]
