Because that's what you seem to be saying, and I think you're underestimating WotC. Have they had any large scale, important product failures? I've not noticed any. Remember, WotC aren't TSR. WotC do a hell of a lot of market research, and they don't listen to the fans, they listen to the people who buy, and who can be convinced to buy, WotC-made D&D products, who are, it seems to me, very different people to "the fans".You also seem to think everyone is either:1) Current FR lover.2) Loathes the FR and laughs at everything about it.When in fact there is a large-ish amount of:3) Likes the FR, used to play there, but gradually lost interest in 2E/3E.I don't think WotC would take a risk like this without good reason. They undoubtedly know the consternation the 4E Realms stuff so far has caused, and undoubtedly predicted it (I could have, so I don't believe WotC would have failed to - notice that no WotC employees have appeared anywhere to "apologise" for the new FR or make "it's not that bad!" comments about it). I seriously doubt a sample chapter full of such "explosive" info got up there "by accident", either. So it's a risk, but it's far more of a calculated risk than you appear to portray. Remember - WotC aren't TSR.mod edit: Please don't make summaries, restatements, or paraphrases look like actual direct quotes.</blockquote>
