[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 3476246, member: 12324"] I would agree if there wasn't an OGL involved. With the OGL and third-party publishers which have track records rivaling WotC in quality, there could still be many people interested in the OGL despite a 4E. If WotC's PR and Marketing is as bad as we've seen lately, and if 4E is not OGL, and if 4E represents a significant break from 3E, this could become a whole another situation. If 4E is so different than 3.5 as to be another game, no thanks, I have and will have all the RPG books, supplements, adventure paths, settings and modules I could want for the next 20 years without having to change the rules yet again. If however 4E, still not OGL, doesn't change that much from 3.5, then OGL and 4E are still compatible, and nothing's really changed, so why would I get 4E in the first place? *shrug* I mean, it's well and good to remember past situations and say "hey, you guys are so overreacting!", but when suddenly the situation changes and the outcome is different then everyone's acting like they're surprised.
