Now, the question was what should WotC publish. I wonder if that many folks feel the game is pretty complete as is or if there is a preference for third party companies to produce this stuff.It also is suggestive of rollout strategy. For the sake of argument, let's say these responses are in line with WotC's research. If they know that they are only going to sell 60 MM2s for every 100 MMs they originally sold, that is going to weigh heavily on the production budget. There must be a point of diminishing returns where however much we might want a MM2 or MM3 it just is not worth WotC's cost.I wonder if something like this is behind WotC sort of turning a blind eye to unofficial 3rd party books: they get the same benefit of an official OGL (i.e. Others shouldering the costs of the less profitable supplements) but do not have to take the responsibility of one.</blockquote>
