Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greylond" data-source="post: 384161" data-attributes="member: 7757">My point is simply this; How much more would have WOTC's sales been had they put out a product that tried to include some of us old fans.Also, how many of the new players are actually going to stay with the product for years like some of the rest of us? It just seems to be a bad idea to alienate part of the customer base that has been buying the brand for years since they are the ones that will stay with it for even more years to come. WOTC had a dedicated customer base that was buying the product. It might not have been as big as they wanted but it did exist. Now they have split that group into two parts, one that will buy the new stuff and one that won't. The important question is are the new players that are just now getting into the game going to be as die-hard as the old crew that WOTC has lost? Only time will tell. Personally I think that sales will drop off in another year or two as fads change and WOTC will have to consider selling or coming out with yet another system change to sell more Core Rule Books since their business plan seems to be to concentrate on Core Books and very little else RPG related.People associated with WOTC keep telling us that D&D sales have been great and it is the other stuff that is dragging it down prompting the layoffs. If that were true why layoff people that are working on RPG stuff that is supposedly selling great? If D&D sales figures are so great then I say to WOTC, prove it. You are part of a publicly held company so what harm will it do to release the D&D specific sales info?Greylond</blockquote>
