[QUOTE="Scott_Rouse, post: 5769720, member: 51773"] Since you're quoting me I'll chime in. I don"t have a horse in this race and I have largely moved on (professionally and personally). Yes I did say that and at that point in time anyone on the D&D team would have said the same thing. The publishing goal was (and should be) to have the edition last 8-10 years and we truly believed that would be the case with 4e. There are a lot of things that happened with 4e that violated the communities trust (failure to have DDi tools at launch, the GSL vs OGL) but after all that has happened with 4e is a shorter edition life-cycle really going to be the thing that turns you away from the opportunity of a better game that 5e offers? 4e[COLOR="DarkRed"] is[/COLOR] broken as a game and business and it needs to go away. The "they broke their promise" argument sounds vaguely familiar of the "they are killing my 3.x game" that was all over the boards when 4e was announced. Edit for the sake of clarity that I am talking about the game as it stands now: [/QUOTE]
