OMG, we're actually having an edition war on HN! D&D really has broken through!

Pathfinder beat 4e to market in a technical sense, but it absolutely exists because WotC announced it was moving away from 3.5e and the OGL with a new edition. Paizo never intended to release it to compete directly with 3.5, and it would have been insane to do so.

Are we? The disagreements seem to be about details of why various editions succeeded or failed, not about their superiority.

Well, we expect HN to have a slightly higher level of discourse right? :)
