Releasing a new edition of the game is more likely to push customers away.

I've been in this hobby a very long time, since 2nd edition, and I can attest that it's when new editions are released that I've seen the most people jump ship.

It's human nature to be apprehensive to change. People who come into 40K (fresh or returning) and like it are more likely to disapprove of the changes a new edition brings and thus stop playing altogether.

As someone who played 6th like 3 times, and skipped on 7th...a new, less bloated, more balanced rules system might bring me back... I have absolutely no desire to play this game in its current incarnation, but cant bring myself to sell my models...
