[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7839887, member: 7015558"] Ferrari only sells luxury sports cars. Do they have the money to make minivans if they wanted to? Sure. But they don't, because Ferrari correctly understands its brand represents quality, prestige and speed. Dungeons & Dragons is called [I]Dungeons and Dragons[/I], not [I]Superheroes and Cuthulu[/I]. The reason D&D is the most popular TTRPG in the world is because of its strong brand and easy accessibility of its ruleset. The business minds at Wizards fully understand that, and when deciding how to spend their resources likely find developing more material for their already successful brand to be a more fruitful endeavor than trying to build a new brand and ruleset. Now, there's nothing wrong with feeling that Wizards should invest in making new systems for modern or future or horror TTRPG games because you personal would like them (I would too). But there is almost no evidence that Wizards or Hasbro "needs" to make these to be a successful company. [/QUOTE]
