Players playing 3.5e are not average players. They've invested a lot of time into the game already. They should care what the company does, especially considering what they did after 3.5 that they should remember.

You probably will care who makes the system soon though because Hasbro is going to require subscriptions for everything. It's going to sucks. You can always pirate the PDFs, but just play a better system. D&D 5e is so janky and you have to remember so many exceptions. Pathfinder 2e just works how you'd expect.
