I must not understand. There was a group of 5e old school players that run an older style of game. This is what I think he's replying to. As for me I think this helps. It gives me some comfort going into the new core books.
I don't see how this is supposed to help anything.
What it's going to achieve? People who aren't happy with the direction of D&D aren't going to be happy with this or have their minds changes by something so spurious.
Better to just keep putting out product and let the market decide.
Edit: Not that I'm saying it's wrong to engage with criticism but engage properly or don't engage at all- the only thing twitter is good for is further dividing people.
That's neat and all...but, 1) doesn't he have better things to do...like literally anything involving life, and; 2) why give the whiny gatekeepers the attention?
Perhaps I misunderstand, but I dont see this as anything but trying to pacify a segment of the gaming population that...isnt going to be pacified, as Mordhau and overgeeked point out here.
If he's talking about some other specific group that just wanted a shout out...sure?
