Crystal freaking Pepsi! Looks and tastes like, made from…corn syrup! Epic productOn the subject of quality, I don't see how we can say 5e is not a decent quality product from a business perspective.
If advertising budget and name recognition were all you needed we'd be sipping Crystal Pepsi or New Coke listening to our Zune while driving our Oldsmobile and waving at our buddy on a Segway. Our Google glasses would remind us that we were going to go to the new Ronin IV sequel based on that Keenu Reeves' smash hit 47 Ronin back in 2013.
Name recognition and advertising can get you in the door. To stay relevant and get year after year double digit growth you need a decent product.
Which is why they're announcing D&D One with modifications and play tests for at least the next year, obviously.That's the thing. 5e is so popular that WotC no longer has to actually produce quality product to sell tons. They have no motivation to do their best work, because they're popular enough that it won't affect the bottom line.
Announcing new product doesn't make it quality. They put out new stuff regularly. Jury's is well and truly out on this.Which is why they're announcing D&D One with modifications and play tests for at least the next year, obviously.
Tanked by a counter campaign with Tab Clear, tricking consumers into thinking Crystal Pepsi was a diet drinkCrystal freaking Pepsi! Looks and tastes like, made from…corn syrup! Epic product
Somehow not successful with a huge marketing push
So they are in AAA video game publisher mode...?That's the thing. 5e is so popular that WotC no longer has to actually produce quality product to sell tons. They have no motivation to do their best work, because they're popular enough that it won't affect the bottom line.
Well…actually the inventor of Crystal Pepsi said:Tanked by a counter campaign with Tab Clear, tricking consumers into thinking Crystal Pepsi was a diet drink
They're working on making it better for more people by investing in playtests and analyzing feedback. Not sure what else you can ask of any company.Announcing new product doesn't make it quality. They put out new stuff regularly. Jury's is well and truly out on this.
