[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8978336, member: 48965"] Wouldn't this depend on what the approval rating actually was... if you're only getting 20% approval its still probably not worth it to devote further money and resources to actually getting the rules officially published, not to mention the bad publicity and hate that come with releasing something that in the eyes of the vast majority of your playerbase is subpar. Again you're making an assumption that can't be proven... even give we take that a large number of people want psionics...that doesn't mean in turn the subgroups themselves are large... which is like I said above how you end up with an extremely low approval rating. If 50% of WotC market want psionics but only 5-10% of that approve of any one method of implementing them... we are now dealing with a relatively small base that is interested in purchasing whichever route they go and its not going to be worth the costs to produce or the backlash from those who didn't get it... I find your estimates of how many people want psionics suspect as you would think with 70% wanting psionics and WotC not providing them there would be a plethora of 3pp who would fill the necessary gaps for all iterations WotC has tried and then some... yet thats not what we are seeing when it comes to psionics. I don't think the approval rating for psionics is as high as you think, 9nstead I think WotC views it as a legacy system that should come across with various editions but also something that isn't that big of a deal to the average D&D player.
