It wants you to collect it. And that push is only going to continue. Lots of other RPGs want you to actually play them, but they're a lot easier to get into, and have a much lower burden on the DM. The main issue they face is that D&D effectively limits people's ability to find out the others even exist, especially now, and WotC's plans are very clearly that that will continue and in fact become more extreme.I mean, there's a reason WotC chosen D&D Beyond, not any of the other platforms. It's not because of their great tech or stellar developers, they don't have those. It's because they only do D&D. Therefore no-one will even be hearing about other RPGs, let alone thinking about them.D&D's massive edge will allow it to continue to be successful even when, realistically-speaking, it is one of the less-accessible RPGs out there, one of the ones which dumps the most work on a single individual.</blockquote>
