There’s been a lot of about it, to date, but I think a big question is: Will a new edition win back more people than it will lose?
Whenever you change editions, some people leave, at lesat in the sense of not buying anything more. I have friends who are completely happy with second edition AD&D and they’ve never purchased much in the way of new products. Given that 5E will have to reconcile fans of the earlier editions of fourth edition and do it in a way that won’t drastically alienated the majority of the fan base, this is going to be a tall order.
