When people have to work on their creative effort in their spare time and still work a 40 hour week to pay the bills they can’t be as creative as they otherwise could. Financial backing allows investment. You can buy the equipment you want, recruit the artist you want or the design team. You can source the materials you want. You can spend longer in real time working on what you want. It’s really crap trying to do these things without any money. What you’re not going to get is free money and not expect some kind of payback. When you’re responsible for a hell of a lot of people’s livelihoods you’re going to have to take some decisions that not everyone is gonna like.There’s nothing wrong with a company finding its niche. If you want a product that’s niche then go buy it. If it doesn’t exist then go write it, or pay someone else to. Otherwise get over it. Complaints about something being too popular just smack of acting territorial to me. Get your hands off my game you whippersnappers.My strong gut feeling is that if D&D2024 was released by an independent 3pp at the quality and production value we have seen these three books it would be lauded across the land as the product everyone was waiting for.</blockquote>
