How do you figure? The D&D minatures line that replaced Chainmail is extremely successful, much more so than Chainmail ever was.

I picked Chainmail and it got canned...

I decided not to play D&D minis and they live on...

Not all good business decisions make everyone happy;...

I agree.

This is the status quo for Wizards...

Legend of the Five Rings was purchased from Five Rings Publishing (I believe). After around 18 months or so, the product went into limbo... and then the right produce the game went Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG). AEG still produces the game, but who knows what the future holds... as WotC still holds the license. And AEG has killed some good games as well (Doomtown). I have long since abandoned the game.

Several years Wizards rolled out a game called Chainmail -- a miniatures game. I climbed on the band wagon has some fun and then the game was cut short. I'm not sure if lasted even a year. Some time later D&D miniatures was born. Will at last? I don't know. My local gaming store was stuck with a bunch of Chainmail minis that dropped dramatically in value. Thanks WotC!

I have found myself more and more avoiding Wizards products, not knowing when they will pull the plug.

Pathfinder sounds like an excellent alternate to the WotC licensed Dungeon and Dragon. I will definitely be checking it out at my local gaming store.
