But they two different games. In the past, computer games tried to recreate the experience of playing a RPG. It was never fully captured, but those CRPG could still be fun on their own. But OTOH it doesn't make sense the other way around, that the "little fish" tries to chase the "big fish". It cannot fully succeed (just as the opposite didn't succeed), but it can lose some of its own uniqueness. You like the big mac and you like ice cream, it doesn' mean that you'd like automatically like a big-mac flavored ice cream  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Of course, I am not worried really, because older editions and other RPGs are not going to disappear because of that...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> If D&D becomes something very different, then I just have two different games to play with, and I can choose. Maybe I'll play 3.0 on saturdays and 4e on sundays... In fact, since I don't think that 3.0 needed any serious change but only some more options, I am probably going to prefer a 4e that looks significantly different and not a needless revision like 3.5. Still, it might be a very different game not just from 3ed but from D&D altogether, depending how far they go.</blockquote>
