Right now they seem to me to be doing everything right:
- They're creating a new edition of D&D aimed at attracting more people, with varying complexity depending on campaign style.
- They've opened this edition up for open playtest a good year and a half before the game will be done, so they can incorporate feedback.
- They're reprinting old editions and making edition-agnostic books in the mean time to keep continuing sales.
- They're dumping failed projects like the VTT instead of throwing good money after bad.
I'm really in favor of this strategy. It's what I'd do in their stead.
That said, their digital design team has an abysmal record, and they really need to sell PDFs.
