Streaming wasn't big, there were no big shows at the moment tapping into that particular right nostalgia boom to give it a big push, virtual tabletop technology was in its infancy and there wasn't a massive pandemic on the horizon to give a lot of people a lot of time to spend at home. 5E's success was catching lightning in the bottle. About the only thing WotC did that helped it was the rules being simple enough to quickly understand, the rest of the game's success was other factorsAnd, no. I'm saying there's anything wrong with 4E not matching 5E's success doesn't make it a failure or less popular. No edition, ever, has met 5E's success. Its selling the best it ever has, even the AD&D days weren't at these rates.Which, to drag it back to the topic, is also why this whole thing was never going to happen in the start. Like, Hasbro still have the rights to Rom, the Space Knight, a property that's only famous due to Marvel doing a comic with it, and they'd rather experiment with doing their own comics and movie for Rom than sell the rights to Marvel for those massive Disney dollars. Hasbro never sell IPs</blockquote>
