[QUOTE="nutluck, post: 4125193, member: 4844"] You make it sound like nobody every buys anything but DnD books, yet there is a lot of companies and a lot of games out there that do just fine. ICE makers of Rolemaster and Harp, Steve Jackson maker of GURPS, White Wolf maker of WoD stuff and exalted, Mongoose which basicily left d20 behind and do their own stuff, Penicale makers of Savage Worlds, ect. Lots of games and companies exist and make a profit just fine. Consider old World of Darkness is still played and it has been out of print for around 6 years now and no easy way to get the main books. I think it would be doing better if you could still get the core books for it. Now Paizo may or may not sell their new game well and may or may not stay in business. But if they do or don't has nothing to do with WotC or 4e and everything to do with if they make a good quality product. Because if they make the later word of mouth with get them new customers and if it sucks they will sink. Only their own abilities will ultimently matter. [/QUOTE]
