Is it about the Facebookgame thingie?

They're a publishing business so the only way to make money is to keep publishing. Switching editions is a good way to boost sales as it means all the players have to go out and buy all of the basic books (Player's Guide, DM's Guide, Monster Manual, etc...) all over again.

I haven't played since about 1993-1994 but I did read some news articles when 3rd edition and 4th edition came out. It sounded like both of them were lame munchkin's paradise games and I'd expect 5th edition to be even worse.

Unearthed Arcana ftw.

Wow, 4th edition came out in 2008? So it only lasted three years? I had heard a lot of people didn't like 4th edition because it was too much like WoW and not enough like D&D but a three year product cycle is ridiculous. Either sales really did suck or they really are just trying to churn through the books quickly so people have to buy everything brand new.
