Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9792379" data-attributes="member: 7006">The charity would be if there's not enough people who actually want high-level stuff (which of course we already know because WotC has told us that) to make the writing and publication of said material actually worth their time.  Time they otherwise would spend designing other things that would actually make them more substantive money, which is what all companies are trying to do.  To make things that won't really sell in any usable amounts just to make some small contingent of the player base happy is indeed closer to charity than it is an intelligent business decision.And while 5E sales might indicate that the vast majority of 5E players like the stuff they actually have bought from WotC... that also indicates how much stuff they do buy.  And if more people wanted high-level material, WotC and all the 3PPs would know it and actually produce stuff for it.  There would be a void in the marketplace that someone at this point would have filled.  But since they haven't... ipso facto there's no real void.  There just aren't enough people out there buying this material for anyone to spend their time trying to fill it.Does it suck for some of you?  Sure.  But then again... there IS stuff out there for you.  Not at the sheer amounts there is for levels 1-7... but it's there.  So go buy it.  Even if each specific individual product isn't exactly what you need at this moment in time for the current high-level adventure you are running.  At least you'd be proving to WotC and the 3PPs were wrong in ignoring that void in the marketplace.  Show them there is an audience for this stuff.  Because if you don't... you're just proving them right.</blockquote>
