[QUOTE="Grainger, post: 6398056, member: 6779234"] Many players don't care - or even know - what WOTC say, though. They might just buy a book on a whim ("cool, I can't wait to do XYZ"). It happened to me years ago with one of the Creature Crucible books for BECMI, for example, years and years before 4e was even conceived. I had to say "no", he was disappointed/peeved, and I felt like a killjoy. It's not the end of the world, but it is frustrating for all involved. My comment about avoiding awkward situations was a joke, but I'd still rather any extra rules content was clearly aimed at the DM, and not players, even if that means I have to spend more on books than I would otherwise. For various reasons, I just want the rules to in the DM's province as much as possible, and not a concern of the players. By the way, I realise it may be more commercially viable for WOTC to market these at players, but that's not my call. I'm just stating my preference, not what would make most money for WOTC.
