The fact that there was lots and lots of different cards created by fans for
3e obviously played a part in
WotC deeming this to be a good idea.
We've made our own Feat, Spell and whatnot cards for 3.5 forever and ever. We're making cards for
4e as well, and for
WotC to come out with this is one of the most obvious ideas I've ever seen.
Unless I'm mistaken, there was players hoping for this even before 4th edition was released, so I think
WotC is filling a very real and tangible need for some gamers out there.
EDIT: also, creating something that the players will buy, in addition to the PH, is probably a very good thing when it comes to the economy of the new edition. More things players can buy (instead of just the DM), equals more money for
WotC, which equals a more healthy D&D, for good and for worse.
