Maybe they shouldn't have replaced the core books and confused DDI users and 3pp publishers then. Either direction (new edition or no new edition) would IMO have been a better move than what they did.I'm not saying that's the only option.
But suggesting "Make less money for a not guaranteed more money in the long term when your customer base is shout at you to don't do it and treating not to buy" is not likely to ever happen.
When D&D Next was announced, almost every single D&D celeb or notable figure not employed by WOTC was saying "New Edition Bad. I won't buy".
