[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8952169, member: 86653"] Still basically the same as before. WotC will stop publishing the 2014 core books. WotC will start publishing the 2024 core books. The number of 2014 core books will be that set number, never to increase. As people grow tired of 5E or switch to 5.5E, they might sell their 2014 books to the secondary market. People that continue playing 5E will likely hang onto their books, so those copies will not go into the secondary market unless someone dies and their family sells them or gives them away. The prices of the 2014 books will rise a bit as copies are worn and used and the price for new or like new will increase even more as there will be fewer and fewer of those. But there will never be any more new 2014 books printed by WotC. They have no way of accurately tracking the numbers of secondary market sales. Meanwhile, WotC will pump out a few million copies of the 2024 core books. Same as every other edition change. Momentum and being the market leader will carry them through. So it's literally not a thing that can happen. [/QUOTE]
