Supporting things as optional to cater in some small way to a minority in your playerbase is "questionable goodwill"? Did I provide an invisible example you're objecting to, or was it a post from my mirror double that I haven't seen?
What an interesting view. So you think that WotC should only include options that you like, and definitely not include options you don't. Have you sent them a comprehensive list? If so, can you share it so the rest of us get a sense of what is "questionable"?
No. There’s things I like that I don’t think they should be supporting either.
Why? What is the logic behind them taking things off the list? I mean, I get there should be priorities but presumably 5E is the "last edition" so why shouldn't there theoretically eventually be a book on Epic Levels or Domain Management or Werewolf PCs or whatever?
Because they probably won’t make enough money off of it. They aren’t running a charity.
Such as? And why not?
Who cares how much money WotC makes? They'll be fine.
Why can't they provide more options? What's stopping them? Companies with far less profit do so all the time. I love 3pp, and will support it forever and even make it the cornerstone of my gaming, but I can't think of any reason WotC can't put out more options for their version of 5e that isn't "greedy corporation's gotta greed".
How many options are enough? They've provided entire books of options. There are innumerable options with 3PP and options in DmsGuild.
