My wallet is not upset about it.I'm used to 3rd edition and Pathfinder 1st, which had loads of books every year. I miss monster books, adventure paths/campaigns, sourcebooks...etc. I feel 2026 is going to be so quiet.
I do think just one or two official adventure products (whether full path or anthology form) per year is about my limit on this front. I'd rather see them get the work together to bring the 2014 mechanics that don't mesh well with the 2024 classes forward. And even then I'm not expecting a big book of options every single year.
We were getting to a point where there were too many D&D books a year again, imho.
But we also live in an environment with endless supply of readily available and mostly if not fully compatible 3rd party material. What we have to remember is that Dragon Magazine and the adventure modules were outsourced to Paizo in 3.X specifically so that WotC could focus on other books that are more universally useful.
