[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 9575730, member: 6748898"] I actually think this is completely within their goals. They know people love 5e and I don't think they wanted to make an update that was so different from it that people would feel pressured to update it. They really do want it to be backwards compatible and for people to keep playing 2014 5e if they want to. They just want people playing D&D. A major part of their plan with 5e was slowing down releases too and they have stuck to that. I think they're fine with people going to 3pp if they want more books than WotC are putting out. For the first few years of 5e I saw lots of posts about how bad of an idea it was to do this slow release pace and how much money they are leaving on the table because the poster wants to keep buying books. But that isn't most of their audience. They were put into a weird position. 5e is designed to be evergreen but after 10 years an update just makes sense. So what to do? I think this design and release pace fits with their goals and I don't think they're upset that everyone isn't throwing away their 2014 books. [/QUOTE]
