I'd like to pose a few questions.

If 4e comes out, is there a guy with the barrel of a rifle pointed at you forcing you to buy it?

If 4e comes out and it's a superior product, will you feel bad for whining and moaning?

Wizards of the Coast is part of a corporation known as Hasbro. Hasbro makes money. That's the best way to run a business-- if you don't make money, you can't pay your employees. If you can't pay your employees, you can't make a product. If you can't make a product, you can't make any more money...

As far as "capitalisim sucking" and "it'll only get worse as it goes along", capitalism itself is not at fault. For starters, capitalism has actually gotten *better* than it was in the past-- take a look at the Pinkerton incidents involving labor demonstrations, the early industrial barons, and the violent obliteration of early unions. Capitalism with a moderate outlook in itself isn't inherently wrong-- and it's a hell of a lot better than a command economy, where somebody tells you what to do.

As with any free system, it's only as good as the people who comprise it.

My rant is over.... If you guys want to continue this off-topic debate, feel free to spawn a new Dragon's Den thread.

Somwhere on the wotcee site I predicted 4E's release in Dec07/Feb08.

Scared?  Why?
It will either be something I like or not.  
I played 1st edition in the early eighties, I never played 2nd.  Never bothered with 3.0, but upgraded staright from 1E to 3.5E(technically it is 7th edition, I believe).
If Vancian magic is still in it, I won't bother, but we shall see.
