[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8927654, member: 5948"] I honestly have no idea, but I'd be guessing too. One thing though - this isn't 1992 when everyone's opinions about products were generally only known to themselves or their gaming groups, unless TSR bothered to do some market research or check their sales numbers. These days, every 15yo who's sufficiently into D&D to care about Spelljammer at all will be looking at tiktok or reddit or youtube videos about it, and they'll be hearing everyone else's opinions. I was personally very surprised when the OGL issue blew up as widely among the broader D&D community (as opposed to us terminally online types who haunt ENWorld and buy a lot of 3pp material) because I figured the majority of players wouldn't hear about it. But in retrospect, I shouldn't have been, because of how ubiquitous online-ness is now, especially among younger people. That means news travels fast, and bad news is absolute greased lightning. If you're even moderately interested in D&D and have a moderate social media presence that has involved D&D in any way, ever, the algorithms would have ensured you saw Spelljammer content, and given the reception that product has got, there's a pretty solid likelihood that the content you see would have been critical of the perceived lack of meat in the material.
