It's the catch-22 of setting reboots. If you make changes in an attempt to modernize, you're being disrespectful to those who value canon or continuity. If you leave it exactly the same, you've lost your rationale for rebooting it in the first place. Setting material is edition agnostic, there's nothing preventing anyone from using their Greyhawk material from 1983 in a 5e game.I know this is satire, but it just feels mean. Like it's crappy all over their play style and choice of the setting because they don't want the setting radically changed to include a half-dozen new races or suddenly have racial equality...
Honest to god, the more I hear Greyhawk fans talk about why they like the setting, the less I want it to be updated...
Some things don't need rebooting, they just need reprinting.It's the catch-22 of setting reboots.

I simply don't see the need if nothing changes. I could see it if material is added, and what was previously vague becomes more fleshed out. But just to have the 1983 material in a new book, when you could just download the pdf seems like wasted effort.Some things don't need rebooting, they just need reprinting.
