"In my estimation 2nd Edition AD&D began to lose the spirit of the original, and 3E D&D completed the destruction. As 3.5E was not particularly successful, likely reduced rather than expanded the audience for the game, WotC sought a means of attracting a larger potential audience for the D&D game. What better place to find that than the ranks of the MMP online Search & Destroy (a/k/s CRPG) game players. Their number is vastly larger than that of actual (paper & pencil) RPGs. Besides which, a good deal of the underlying elements of the true RPG have been excised in the new D&D games anyway. I refer to such matters as DM control of play, not rule-book rule; emphasis on group cooperation, not individual PC aggrandizement; freedom to select the ethical and moral views of the character being played; actual threat to PC viability without coddling; the called-for requirement for lengthy successful play for advancement in PC level; and avoidance of comic book superhero abilities for PCs."
