What if WotC, tomorrow, just up and said "That's it. We're freezing the D&D codebase. No new versions, no new editions. It's what we want, it sells, we'll write adventures and sell rulebooks. Enjoy!"
I don't mean the financial or business "what if" for them. That speculation is beyond me.
I mean you guys, the people who play WotC D&D - or we can expand it out and say "What if TSR were still around and they'd said 'that's it' at AD&D."
I would ask folks to keep EW stuff out of this - I'm not asking for "Why didn't they stop when xyz edition was obviously perfect and all others are just pale imitations" type answers.
Just wanna know if you'd keep on going with D&D hereafter. Or thereafter in the alternate futures.
(Me? yes on the would keep playing in the alternate future; I don't play the current ruleset.)
