I'm sure they've at least implied it in something they've said, but I can't think of where they've actually said it. Lets take a look at the Campaign II poll again. Planescape is almost tied with FR for 1st. That's a lot right? Well, that's 10% of the votes. Of course, in relailty, if all those campaign settings were getting suport, many of us would buy supplements for more than one setting. But, because many of us are poor or have real world comitments, we would be able to buy most of the books for a given setting. So, while 10% of the respondants said they would buy planescape suplemtnts, how many of them would buy every one. A few, to be sure, and I expect a few posts saying "I would!" But the division among the fan base would casue sales for all the books to go down. And I think that's the real problem, its not that Plansscape is unprofetable, its that some populer settings have to be sacraficed so WotC can focus it's efforts. I find it suprising that people are making a distintion between the Great Wheel and Planescape. While I reconized the difrence in the kind of books (books about alternet realities vs books about a setting set in The Planes), I simply didn't see a diffrence. When I read the 3e Manual of the Planes, I saw the Great Wheel as a new map for Planescape. MoP talked about Sigil, there was a sentance about the factions, I remember a Dragon artical were some of the factions were given PrC (reprint material anyone <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ) So it just seemed natural to me. If I were a compulsive gambler, I'd bet that it didn't even ocure to any of the game designers on the Planer Handbook that fans would make a distition between the Great Wheel of 3e and Planescape, and thus be upset when PS material was refered to or discussed with out the rest of the setting. It just seems strange to me to get mad at WotC for including some of PS in products about the planes. It's what they do with other books, they include Greyhawk material in books that arn't, technically, about Greyhawk.</blockquote>
