I have no objection to them expressing that they would prefer lots of products.But when a person goes on to claim that WotC is passing up lots of profits by not producing lots of products? It's worth pointing out that the traditional splatbook publishing strategy has been associated with rapid sales volume death spirals, across all RPG publishers, for decades.(This is not to say that the pace of product in 5th edition is necessarily correct. It might have been better at a higher pace. Or, for all we can actually tell, 5th edition might have done far better if the new product pace had been half the rate it was. But to switch to the strategy used by most RPG companies 1990-2014 would not be a sane business move.)</blockquote>
