Question for the lawyers out there, could WotC actually sue you based on the "agreement" not to talk about what was in the survey? Or is this just a scare tactic? From the biz side, the negative publicity of suing a fan of the game because they talked about the survey seems like it would be a very bad idea. If they really wanted to keep this a secret, wouldn't it make more sense to run some focus groups where you actually sign a real NDA? I'm half wondering if the 'don't talk about what you see' is a marketing ploy to ensure that people talk about it...

Not likely. Though they could "easily" block your IP from their site......edit: not a lawyer....

I think it falls into the "probably could, probably won't," category.

Actually suing someone for this is probably allowed, but actually doing it is a huge hassle on their end too.
 

I think if they were working on a new PHB, they wouldn't have been so focused on races. They asked nothing about classes or any other rules, it just seems like they're considering de-emphasizing racial stuff in the future, in the vein of Tasha's.
Where would they put elves 2.0, though, if not a revised PHB? Putting revised PHB core races in another book forks the player base.

They've already done revised racial rules in Tasha's. I don't see why they can't do so again (and again, and again). Makes more sense to me than re-releasing the PHB.
