Others in this thread have already touched on this subject, but let's try again:Greyhawk is too similar to the Forgotten Realms. This means that the customer base who buy Greyhawk products will most probably show a high degree of overlap with the customer base who buy FR products. The part that doesn't overlap is already catered to at the moment (Living Greyhawk, LGG, Paizo maps, core adventures, etc.).This overlapping of customer bases means that by producing both setting lines you will have to produce double the amount of product (two complete lines) for maybe 10% more revenue (the few customers who will buy into both lines). In the other example, i.e., licensing Greyhawk out, this means getting licensing fees, but losing nearly half of the FR crowd to a competitor, that means making the own products less profitable.In both cases it looks like a net loss to me. The revenue per RPG product goes down. The overall revenue might go up, but the ratio of capital expenditure per achieved profit goes down. Looks very reasonable to me not to do that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
