[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5432875, member: 6667746"] But you have to admit, the eggheads of ENWorld including, lawyers, accountants, graphic designers, publishers, writers, programmers, retailers, etc...should know a bit about what they are talking about too, and if this group sees it could be a viable option for a good return on investment, then it makes you wonder "what kind of people do WotC have to see it otherwise?". Then agian it could be just a simple case of looking form the outside in, or someone else pulling the strings. Also jsut looking at it from the perspective of a yard sale concept. You have something that takes little to no money or effort to put out for sale, you jsut have to get up and do it and see if someone buys it, it is dumbfounding why you wouldn't take that risk while devoting multi-millions into designing a high-risk new edition? It isnt so much a ROI that might be being viewed, but as others may have already mentioned the fact of competition and finding their current creation not as healthy a product, which would cause lots of strain on staff involved in that from making and decision making about it. So are they wanting to make money, or just trying to make X make money for them? X being current endeavors: 4th edition, Esentials, DDi. [/QUOTE]
