But I seriously doubt if those numbers or anything like them would stack up in the real world. Most customers, I believe, don't even know what "Open Gaming" is. I sincerely doubt the numbers of sales lost will be substantial, and it is at least POSSIBLE to think that franchizing will have all the good effects and less of the bad effects on WotC's bottom line as compared to open gaming.I love Open Gaming, both as a concept and for what it did to me, as a customer and member of the roleplaying community. But I don't think this makes a very compelling argumnet. At all.[I voted that I'd buy 4e even if it's closed, BTW, which goes to show Mistwell's interpretation that all those who voted that way don't care about openess is not entirely accurate.]</blockquote>
