[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7897412, member: 7006"] If the shareholders of Hasbro had any sway on Wizards of the Coast, and specifically the D&D department... we would have seen at the beginning the exact same publishing strategies we got for 3E and 4E-- pump out more and more books quickly for people to buy. But Nathan, Mike and the others specifically told everyone that there was nothing wrong with not making the switch to 5E. If you were a 2E player, they were making a game that hopefully would bring out the same feelings you got while playing 2E if you decided to try it... but if you weren't going to make the switch, they shortly after made all the 2E stuff your heart could desire available to you on DMs Guild. Getting people to play ANY D&D was more important that getting them to play 5E specifically, because they were trying to break down the walls that separated everybody. If you called yourself a D&D player, that's all that mattered. I mean, I'm not the only one who remembers all of this stuff they talked about back in 2014-15, right? [/QUOTE]
