[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 4966456, member: 25619"] [b]4e support[/b] I agree with DaveMage -- I think 4e support here is about the same. The answer is always close to 45%, so 40-50% support, however/whenever you look at it in this poll, seems to indicate no substantial change. Which surprises me. I thought it would grow in strength over time, to eventually dominate. Perhaps it's no longer growing, or perhaps it's cycling people in and back out again (Pathfinder might be taking some 4e experimenters), and maybe will eventually recapture those folks. Who knows? Of course, you could ask if the market share remains the same but the size of the overall pie is changing -- did 4e and Pathfinder grow the market, like the early days of 3e, or not? I have no way of knowing the answer to that, but my gut feel, being somewhat dejected and finding less interesting stuff to buy for myself, is that the overall market is neither growing nor shrinking significantly -- probably hit by the economy like everything else, but not people jumping on board or dropping off in large numbers. Oh, and you could also complain that the demographics of EnWorld are "skewed", and well they might be, but I really don't care, since there's nothing we can do about that, and again, I don't there's been a huge change in the people here.
