IF your group (obviously not YOUR group) wants to play with a mix, or stick to 2014 but buy new Adventure books, or whatever, WotC is still happy to take your money.As you say, they want and expect most groups to make the switch, but they ALSO want you to be able to keep buying new books (even OLD 5e books that you don't yet own - this is the most important bit - they don't want you to think that you can't still pick up Out of the Abyss and run it). They want to keep their large back catalogue viable!Calling it a new edition or even a revision makes it sound like the old books are obsolete. (Which is SORT OF true for the PHB, unless you Frankenstein it, which YOU and I might not do, but A LOT of people do!)They don't want people to think that they can't combine them, and they don't want people to think that they can't buy old or new books.With that in mind: What else can they do? Because they HAVE been explicit about the above, they just haven't said what you want to hear. Because they don't agree with what you want to hear.</blockquote>
