Whether you (or I) prefer it, more people come into "fantasy" today through Avatar: The Last Airbender and similar franchises than they do through Lord of the Rings.WotC offering one setting that catered to these more modern tastes doesn't mean they're going to throw all of the copies of Curse of Strahd or the Storm King's Thunder on a funeral pyre, never to write about Ravenloft or Forgotten Realms again. (Let's be honest, you couldn't stop WotC from focusing on the Forgotten Realms even if you held them at gunpoint.)It's just expanding their offerings to welcome in an audience that already exists. More than 23,000 backers shelled out $2.6 million for <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985games/obojima-tales-from-the-tall-grass-a-5e-campaign-setting" target="_blank">Obojima</a> on Kickstarter. The audience is there. Pretending they don't, so as not to offend gamers the age of that audience's parents and grandparents is short-sighted at best.</blockquote>
