I mean, they don't need to mention SCAG, they just keep selling it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree with you, but I would kill for a book detailing the suel and baklunish, especially their pantheons. What a masterpiece.I don't think they'll ever publish a Greyhawk setting book again. Another Faerun book should happen sooner or later. Planescape is kind of legendary and has its own ethos, so that's my vote for what we'll see eventually.
Did traditional Grewhawk have a "time"? It it only possible to play traditional Greyhawk with 1st edition rules?Which at the time of traditional Greyhawk didn't include Dragonborn or Tieflings.
I’m so old I didn’t realize dark sun, planescape, birthright and some of those were classic settings. Lol. They are still new to me.
I'm talking about from WotC point of view. If it sells, it is by definition not broken.Its broke, it needs to be fixed.
That's not actually true. Contrary to the old axiom, sex doesn't sell. That's why corporations don't do that sort of thing as much as they used to, better knowledge of what works in actual marketing.If you really want to go gangbusters with young people, bringing back Playboy tracings will do more for you than seeking the coveted Middle School Principal Seal of Approval. Bowlderization has more to do with corporate risk aversion than consumer demand.
Yeah exactly lol. Some things only become more relevant, sad as that might be for the state of the world.The same crowd that "discovers" that Rage Against the Machine is political every year or so would absolutely lose their minds when a 2021/2022 Dark Sun setting leans into the climate change and social justice themes that were there since the beginning and would almost certainly be doubled down upon now.
Which, of course, would also make it sell gangbusters to Gen Z gamers.
I tend to agree re: freak-out, but maybe it wouldn't matter? Just don't think there's much of a modern audience either.Cleaning up the problematic elements of Dragonlance would make the freak-out over Ravenloft being updated to 2021 standards look mild in comparison. And I remain unconvinced there's a big modern audience for Dragonlance. Today's fantasy fans are reading Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and a thousand other things. Dragonlance isn't even in the conversation nowadays. Whom WotC would be chasing with this product, I have no idea. That said, both TSR and WotC (via a license) seem determined that there is an audience out there.
But... is anyone into that?Having Panzar tanks and Lewis Carroll elements seems like a good argument for the distinctiveness of Greyhawk to me.
It's not quite as simple as that. I mean, it's closer to what you're saying than what he's saying, but like, fake girlfriends and imaginary boyfriends absolutely do still do really, really well (the dreaded "waifu" among them). RE:Village got an insane amount of extra publicity because of thirsty people were for the 9'6" bad lady with a Christina Hendricks-esque bod and clothes which whilst appropriate, certainly accentuated it. Lot of people were really into that and the fact that they were drove countless articles about the game, which helped it to be as huge as it was (and some people definitely bought it because of her). They don't have to be nearly-naked and have perfect figures - in fact today, that can make them less effective, marketing-wise, more attainable standards can often work better.That's not actually true.
