Utter nonsense and hyperbole.You do realize that AL is a minority in the Dnd5E community? The book retains practical purpose for AL DMs and players (to familiarize themselves with the setting), for non-AL players, for book reviewers, for those who have impulse-control issues and "must have it ASAP", and for AL-optimizers who wish to start tinkering with the new mechanics ahead of the official announcement (whatever it may entail). The fact that the book is not yet legal for AL might result in a small % of players choosing not to purchase the book until it is AL-legal (maybe 1/20 players at a guess).At my store alone, there were no less than three AL players who purchased the book during last evenings Expeditions session (out of 8 players), one of which usually buys his books on Amazon. I expect another 10-20 books will be purchased tonight during Encounters (out of ~60 players). While I cannot speak to the total number of sales since Friday, I did briefly mention this oft-mentioned argument to the staff in an effort to gauge whether it's lack of inclusion in AL was affecting their sales..... They looked at me as if I had grown a third eye, and clearly indicated that SCAG sales have been steady, as expected</blockquote>
