I'd argue that the new version is coming too EARLY. We as gamers don't really need a new edition. Fifth Edition is fine. There isn't anything really wrong with the current edition, after all. In fact, having a certain stability to the game is actually a benefit. Revisions to the rules don't make for good games; it's the adventures and settings (and the way the DM and players interact) that make for exciting experiences. And trying to write good adventures on the shifting sands of constantly changing rules isn't beneficial to that goal. The release of a new edition is largely to the benefit of Hasbro/WOTC. It allows them to hype up the game, hopefully attracting new customers, and forces everyone to buy new rulebooks. It's being done to meet next-quarter targets, not because there is any pressing need for a change. But what do I know. I'm fine with AD&D ;-)
