The promised tests for DMG and MM never materialized.The result is a lackluster edition with no clear direction and unable to create the excitement WotC would have wanted from it.The failure of Sigil is probably worse for WotC however, since their whole strategy revolved around it and they poured way more money into it than the 2024 books.That being said, we do not have sales numbers, let alone WotC’s expectations, so discussing why it failed to meet expectations is premature, we cannot even really discuss whether it did.</blockquote>
