Why blow salaried hours on things that aren't going to bring as big a return on investment?I'd wager WotC has better records on what sells than you do. And I'd be actually a little surprised if some people didn't by Hoard just because it was an FR story. Probably no one on ENWorld, but puh-lenty of folks outside of this little sphere. Making any D&D product costs money. If you're directing the design team, you're going to want them to work on things that earn back more than you spent on it (ideally, x2 or more). If FR stuff makes more money than Greyhawk stuff, you're going to want them to work on FR stuff. If the marketing team has noted that the Temple of Elemental Evil has some traction,  you are going to put out an adventure featuring the Temple of Elemental Evil in the Forgotten Realms.Supporting Greyhawk is a thing they might want to do at some point, but it isn't something that is obligatory, and it isn't something that is necessarily going to provide a return on investment like FR.</blockquote>
