[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 8169970, member: 6910340"] Keep in mind WotC gets a cut of EVERY product sold on DMsGuild. It's a very successful medium for them to "publish" smaller adventure and supplement products that in past eras they would have produced themselves. The increasing willingness to include plugs for DMsGuild in every official release shows that this model is clearly working for them. DMsGuild creators represent an army of WotC freelancers. You may have doubts about how "official" those products are, and certainly the quality varies (as it does in the physical WotC content as well), but WotC is certainly willing to embrace it enough to put their name on it and promote it. And many of the most successful DMsGuild creators are the same people writing the "official" adventures now. So in a sense WotC is publishing like dozens of 5E products every day. How you choose to classify those products is a subjective choice. But I think the model is here to stay. [/QUOTE]
