What are the 4e fanboys saying now?

2010 was a brutal year for 4e, and 2011 looks to be even worse.

How are the 4e fanboys spinning this?

How f*cking awesome is your 4e, now? Looking forward to all those 2011 releases?

4e is a pile of steaming shit, and I hope it dies the death.

You missed the big thread where a couple guys are saying 4e is the best thing ever and all the rest of us are just bitchy grognards.

My long time group of friend literally swore off any other RPG when 4e D&D was released, and literally threw away their old gaming books.  They've only played 4e D&D since its release.  I was interested to seeing their reaction to the Essentials line and changes, and so keep my opinion quiet and listened to them.  It turns out that they have unilaterally decide to stick with 4e D&D and shunned the new Essentials line.  I was kind surprised since I thought for sure that they had drank the "WotC Kool-Aid" (as it were) and would jump over to the Essential line without blinking.  All but one of them canceled their DDI subscription.

So sales are an indication of the relative quality of a game?

Which edition was D&D in when TSR collapsed...?

By the way, why would anyone give a crap whether any given edition lasted or not? How does that affect anything one does at their own game table?

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

I don't care much for 4e myself, but if other people play and enjoy it, then so be it. I don't wish them anything but fun at their table.

WotC lost me as a customer some time ago. I really don't care what they do and they obviously don't care about my preferences for D&D based on the last two 1/2 years.

It is what it is. I am, however, in the market segment that was driven to Pathfinder via my dissatisfaction with 4e. Or Labyrinth Lord if I want something simpler to deal with.

They're probably holding out for 2012 when D&D Essentials 2E(5) comes out.

What he said.

I ALMOST bought Gamma World, but the moment passed and I didn't...since the Star Wars Saga Edition line ended, WotC has nothing that particularly interests me...but it someone else is enjoying their stuff, whatever.

I'm more interested in what I like than what I don't like.

I have the essentials books but tbh i think im just gonna strip mine them for stuff for other games instead of actually playing in a D&D 4E game...the tokens are pretty awesome and the maps arent bad so they will see use if nothing else.

Meh.  It's still a pretty cool fantasy skirmish RPG.

But I'm running Burning Wheel atm, so unless our 4e DM gets off his lazy ass and runs a game, I'm probably not going to bother with it for a while.
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."
