[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9268576, member: 27957"] A majority is a safe bet. How [I]large[/I] a majority depends on how you filter the respondents. Because a lot of the posters I see expressing a vocal disinterest, both here and on other forums, are ones that I recognize as... not exactly what I'd call active 5e players. Many are ones who have previously expressed a preference for 4e, or OSR, or some variety of Pathfinder. Others have said they've got the 5e PHB, and maybe an early supplement or two, but they haven't kept up with books like Tasha's Cauldron or Monsters of the Multiverse and they haven't actually played 5e any time recently. Altogether, these are the sorts I consider to be [I]lapsed players[/I]. They still retain an emotional attachment to D&D, but they're not active players or purchasers of D&D 5e. So asking them if they plan to upgrade is a misplaced question. They haven't bought a new book in years, and the Revised PHB is not likely to be the book that's going to change that. If there were a way to filter the responses to people who have bought a new D&D 5e book in, say, the last two years, that would be a very different picture. Because the Revised Core is the culmination of a direction change that was already apparent in Tasha's Cauldron and Monsters of the Multiverse. And seeing what people who [I]have those books[/I] think about that direction, and if they want to keep paying for it or if they want to get off the ride, would be interesting. [/QUOTE]
