[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4137051, member: 5202"] You had claimed they hadn't promised full compatibility. I disputed that. Actually read what is written b/c right now it merely appears you are just trying to pick fights. (Admins note I said APPEARS not YOU ARE..I'm trying to clarify here) It was a thread asking what people would do. Typically people posting about how they will switch to whatever Paizo supports who have a tag stating "Pathfinder charter member" are already customers playing the game. NOT like in your example of people new to D&D buying up WotC and Paizo product for the first game. This was a 9 page thread and not a single person on the first 2 pages said that they started playing D&D b/c of a Paizo adventure they saw. THAT was the scenario you put forth and has yet to be borne out as something that pretty much ever happens. I don't see how comparing someone who doesn't play D&D seeing an adventure, then their whole group spending about $400 on various gaming products is anything close to the same as people saying they would continue playing Paizo products that remain 3.5 (no mention of a possible Pathfinder RPG spinoff) or that they would upgrade to 4E. One is a direct continuation by the parent company (4E), the other option is adventures put out supported by the 3.5 SRD. //For clarity, here were Erik's 3 questions posed: 1) Do you plan to convert to the new edition of D&D? 2) If Paizo converts its RPG products to 4.0, how will that affect your purchasing patterns for our products? 3) If Paizo does not convert its RPG products to 4.0, how will that affect your purchasing patterns for our products?// Start a new thread if you want to continue this or use my messages, we're veering way off-topic here.
