[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8559681, member: 6801845"] Good grief. Yet another thread war? I get that some people liked 4E. I liked, and miss, certain aspects of it. But it simply didn't meet sales expectations. I think there were a lot of issues with that, including sales strategy of flooding the market and things like only including half the dragon types in MM 1 so people would feel like they needed to buy MM2, the fact that they simply needed a bit more time before initial release. It just wasn't a mass market hit like 5E. That says nothing about the quality of the game, whether it was a good design for some people or not. While 5E has issues like every game it simply has broader appeal and more staying power. Part of 5E's success is a happy confluence of events including streaming, general public acceptance, better sales and publishing strategy. This edition simply has greater sustainability and growth potential, it's always greatly exceeded expectations from the very beginning. [/QUOTE]
