I think the era of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons had it right. (not talking about the rules).

[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6922898, member: 15700"] Same here. When you have knowns like a limited amount of resources (staff) and quality being directly correlated to time, then you have a sliding scale of quality vs quantity. That's business 101. Wizards have seemed to be able to put out quality material, and at a rate that meets most people's expectations. Knowing other people may want constant material churned out but also knowing that it's not cost effective for [I]them[/I] to create a ton of material only a few people would use (lessons from Lorraine Williams), they created the DM's Guild, which for the first time allows 3PP to access nearly everything in the D&D history I also have no idea what he's talking about when he says Wizards has gone from one extreme to the next. Looking at Wizards' release schedule on D&D over the past 16 years, and that statement doesn't make a lot of sense. Every company does market research and adjusts their plans accordingly. And I would not be surprised if the aforementioned Lorraine Williams debacle wasn't at least on their minds when they evaluated what their release schedule would be. [/QUOTE]
