[QUOTE="megamania, post: 3934228, member: 9255"] I completely agree with this assessment BUT I also think there is a certain "need" to update and shape the game to fit the the new gamer....the electronic gamer. (The World of Warcrafters and the such). To survive (and make more money in the process) the game needs to invite and APPEASE new players. Making it feel more like a video game is the way things are going now. Is it for everyone? No. Is it the way most new buyers (ages 15 or less) think? Yes. As for DI.... I hate it because it is built on technology that I can not at this time make proper use of. I would prefer a book to hold. However, the reality of things is this- paper is damned expensive. Sucks but it the way things are going and will continue to go. Will 4e last longer? If it grabs and maintains the attention of the anime / electronic fans yes. If not.... then it will run its course and go to 5e and try to rethink it again. Using the most reliable, cheapest and "accessable" form possible. [/QUOTE]
