The issue here is the "either one edition or the other" poison pill in the GSL. They could (in my opinion) bring back a lot of gamers by getting rid of this and allowing for companies to issue product lines that have both games represented. There will be gamers who will buy products in a single line and might buy from the newer edition as a result.Probably a waste of time here too. A vocal chunk of setting fans don't want changes to be made, and will complain about them no matter what.This should be reversed. The stated reason is as idiotic. All the policy does is cost them those sales they could have gotten in the .pdf market while doing nothing to halt, or even slow down, piracy.This is an issue that won't go away, and won't be changed. I'd skip it.Give them an earful on this. By cancelling the print magazines, they lost one of their primary vehicles to hype 4e, and probably cost themselves a chunk of sales. They also lost a way to advertise newer products that isn't tied to their website.Will never replace Dragon or Dungeon, and unless they are willing to pour massive amounts of development money into it, it won't ever be the clearinghouse for D&D they think it will.</blockquote>
