The editions wars are over!

[Starfox]

I've been following several of the "What made you change to system XXX" threads, and I must say that I am impressed. Seems the edition wars have finally ended and people can talk about their pro and con experiences in a positive mien. Kudos ENworld! The editions wars are over!

War is never over
Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds

Who won?

It's actually entirely possible that both Paizo and WotC saw greater sales of their respective games than they would have had they not had fanatics on their respective sides desperately buying everything to claim bragging rights.

Alternately, those of us who enjoy 5e won, since without the edition wars 4e would have turned out very differently and so this latest edition probably wouldn't exist, at least in its current form.

Hmm, I'm not so sure the Edition Wars are over when I still see garbage like this. I think maybe they just shifted.
