[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 4518873, member: 1288"] There's an awful lot of misinformation involved in this post. 1) 4E is a runaway success, sales-wise. The transition was quite smooth enough, and there was no misjudgment of the market. There may have been a misjudgment of a [i]small portion[/i] of the market, but if so, it wasn't enough to substantially harm the launch of the game. 2) Rob Heinsoo is stepping down to take a more active role in actually [i]writing[/i], and James Wyatt--who is taking his place--had a [i]more[/i] direct hand in the creation of 4E than Rob did. Notice the names on the covers of the books. This whole "I don't like 4E, so it's obviously a failure" shtick is getting old. Yes, a large number of the old fan base doesn't like it. That's been the case [i]with every edition to date[/i], and will always [i]be[/i] the case with new editions. Is 4E the perfect game ever? No. Could some of the marketing have been handled better? Yes. Was 4E somehow a mistake or a disaster just because there's been a lot of shouting about it on the internet? Not even remotely. [/QUOTE]
