They did. It's on their website as a free pdf. There is also the Essentials boxed set.

My own TL;DR is that the RPG industry does not generate enough money for one publisher, even the 1800 lbs gorilla that is WOTC and D&D, to justify the cost at all and the sales would be so miniscule in comparison to the new thing that it would read as a loss. They're doing what even CHaosium...

that's a snazzy cover

erm, from the Ashes, Living Greyhawk both made a lot of changes to the setting. The setting was originally static and a lot of us prefer it that way what happens can be focused on the PCs and not keeping up with what WOTC is going to do with the setting. My preferred era is From the Ashes, I...

It’s mostly the toy line anyway.

:-O You take that back! Warduke is cooler than He-man and Venger will eat your little piggies!

I think it will be a slow adoption. Of course it will sell well, but if it is still backward compatible it will be a year or two before we can see its real install and usage base. 4e taught us that first 4-12 months can be illusory.

And that edition will occur after being on ice for a few years with more... nostalgia products to keep the brand in the periphery
