They've stated that currently they are almost undermanned to accomplish their production schedule for just Pathfinder. They'd have to hire out double their current staff (well almost) to do both rulesets - which at this time is out of the question (and more likely forever out of the question.) With the above thought in mind, how practical would it be for WotC to support all the editions. Even if they could provide the manpower for such a thing, would it be profitable enough to consider. My answer, I doubt it. So even with WotC being the bigger company, I don't think its in their best interests to support more than one edition. Now if you're only talking about having access to the older editions in some electronic format only, and not creating anything new for older editions - that might be possible. But would doing so, affect their flagship product, and their sales bottomline too much... Maybe they could support that, but anything more is too costly, and simply not profitable. I'm sure supporting all past and current editions is not going to happen, and really its not even a practical consideration (nor a profitable one.)</blockquote>
