Right. Except for the no PDFs, no digital tools, no OGL, and no adventurer's league home play.
If I didn't know better, I'd say they're going out of their way to make their game a PITA to play. But yeah, great hands.

Those things are superfluous, not necessary at all to determine if a game is good or not, or even to say if the publisher is doing a good job with the game. With the exception of PDF versions, none of the top five RPGs I want to play right now, including D&D, has any of those. I'd like it if we had all those things, but they're, as long as I'm concerned, in no way a deal-breaker or even a measure of how successful WotC currently is in running their D&D business.

I have to agree with Giltonio_Santos - much as I'd like to see more material or at least a 3rd party license, there's not a likelihood that Paizo with the reins would continue to take it in the same direction as Mearls and Crawford. Sometimes you have to take the positive with the negative, and the negative to accept (for me at least) is that the D&D R&D department is not geared to stream tons of product and wants to shepherd the brand carefully.
While I do not think that the amount of materials determines if a game system is good or not, I think that it is important for Wizards to support the creation of those materials.
About my JavaScript tracker.
The game did work on Internet Explorer and now doesn't again because of the latest Explorer update.
Use another browser.
I now have 2 classes that are near playable with my latest class feature organization.
I'm working on the other class features, so to the 45 fans who check the page often, patience please.
Also, I think I will have to remove the class features notes as I am getting grumbling from copy right monsters(CR 20).
PathGuy, Asmor, and StrangePork get a pass, but I am from Seattle and the Wizards are my pals. I've got to design this game in such a way that makes the core 3 books needed.

I... I.. Like big THREADS, and I cannot LIE
You other posters can't deny
That when a thread pops up with a flame-bait name
And big post count in the frame
You HIT KEYS, wanna go off the cuff
'Cause you notice that thread was stuffed
Tops in the forum listing

We know.
...for you. For me and many of my friends, they're deal killers; especially the PDF part. So from that point of view, they're doing a rather poor job indeed.
Just this weekend I saw someone with (illegal) PDFs of all three 5E core books. I asked where he got them; he said he torrented them. So for those keeping score at home, no legal PDFs = lost sales, WHILE being completely ineffective at stopping piracy. I really don't see how that a "good job" for anyone, as it is literally the worst of all possible worlds: Lost revenue, pissed off customers, and all the piracy you would have anyway. Nineteen ninety-five called; they want their publishing executives back.
Oh well. I'll check back in 3 months and see if WotC has wised up. Carry on.

WotC has to appease Their Corporate Masters™ in everything they do. I think they aren't making all the decisions regarding how 5E is marketed, sold, and presented.
