[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7716145, member: 6818233"] This applies to myself and some other gamers I know, and probably others as well, but what percentage of D&D gamers this applies to, who knows? Anyway, I have a life and a job and bills and that leaves me with enough time and money to buy materials for one or maybe two systems/settings outside of what I can homebrew for games. And for me personally, that is FR, and Adventures in Middle-Earth when I can afford it, and maybe one non-5th ed-based game. I do not have the money or the time or the interest for three or five or ten other 5th Ed settings and books. I also have no interest in spending money on a setting book and accompanying one or two adventures when I know there will likely be no more published for it, even if doing so would open up DMs Guild for 3PP in that setting. I want a setting with a consistent series of books published for it, not just some one-off. I got burned by that too often in the 90's and early 2000's, where I would see a new setting/system come out, I would buy the initial book or two and then the company or product, or both, would vanish and no more would be published. And this was before the 3.5 Ed glut happened. And that glut burned me out so much on D&D, that I did not buy a single 4th Ed book and played only non-WotC rpgs until 5th Ed and the focus on the Realms drew me back in. I know this does not seem to be the view of people around here, as these forums seem to draw a lot of the more hardcore gamers who want everything possible updated and published, even if these same few hundred or thousand people would be the only ones to buy those products, which is not something that would in any way make WotC money.
