Why would they want to support other versions of D&D with a fraction of 5e's customer base? And how could they afford it?For this to work, alternate edition products would probably have to be sold directly by WotC, and at much higher prices than 5e books because the print runs would be much lower. I'm not an economist, but it just doesn't make much sense to me. And that's setting aside the problem of splitting your own customer base, which really is what killed TSR.I think Kickstarters are a much better model for limited scale publications of this nature.</blockquote>
