I have a preorder on the 24 PH and that is my only purchase of 5e WotC stuff for a number of years now and my only planned purchase of WotC 5e stuff for the near term. My purchases are mostly either non-WotC 5e or non-D&D PDFs or old edition D&D PDFs that I am interested in and have not gotten yet. My purchases are more based on good deals that overlap with my interests, for the most part. I get a bunch of bundle of holding and humble bundle RPG deals as well as charity bundles and things that are on sale. I like 5e and it is my current system of choice to run RPGs but I have enough to run it so everything I get is gravy and on the value scale WotC just does not put out a lot that I want at their price points over other stuff that is available to support my 5e games.Sometimes there is overlap or connections between WotC actions that impact my enjoyment of D&D and my purchasing habits though. When WotC yanked the old PDF sales in the 4e era it affected my purchasing decisions as I had been buying old D&D PDFs regularly as resources for my 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e games and I switched instead to buying non-WotC OGL and non-D&D PDFs for my games. I was annoyed at having access to D&D stuff I was interested in getting cut off and I was annoyed at WotC for trying to manipulate me as a customer by making things worse for me, and I was annoyed at the insultingly bald faced illogic of claiming it was done for piracy issues.Switching from a subscription of new online tools you own to renting access to those tools once I got into 4e also was an overlap of annoyance and WotC purchasing for me as I canceled my tools subscription when that hit.</blockquote>
