So, very few in-print supplements, very few in-print adventures (and those done by outsourced talent), and only one in-print setting (FR, of course).After all, the traditional wisdom has been that the Core Rulebooks are the items that make most money in the game, with sales tailing off sharply after that. And we know that the DDI, with it's ~80k subscribers and low running costs (initial startup aside) is a good source of money. But the rest?So, publish the money-making bits, contract someone else to do the less-profitable bits you feel the game 'must' have, and then leave it be.(This certainly opens up room for third-parties to then publish materials using some sort of open license. Whether WotC would accomodate such third-parties with an open license, though, is another matter.)</blockquote>
