[QUOTE="Kheti sa-Menik, post: 3603825, member: 22721"] If WOTC stops publishing "official content" for D20 Modern altogether, they would signal their intention to stop supporting that brand. If that happens, two possibilities can happen: one, that since new players to the hobby see a game that is unsupported, and to them unsupported = suxs, they may not wish to play that game at all, so we get no more D20 Modern players and old ones who decide to jump ship don't have a reason not to. Secondly, if WOTC gives up on D20 Modern, it could push the smaller publishers (whose D20 Modern material I do buy) to give up publishing material for it. Why publish product for an unsupported game after all? And both of those feed into one another: new players/old players see neither WOTC or other publishers supporting the game with new product so they move on to something else. WOTC and other publishers see gamers turning away from D20 Modern because it appears unsupported and instead of more releases, they give up and walk away from the brand. So, I was WOTC to keep publishing D20 Modern material and supporting the game so it attracts more players and keeps smaller publishers making D20 Modern product. [/QUOTE]
