As far as I can tell, the really remarkable sales story from 5e is that old stuff continues to sell. Curse of Strad is one of the more popular books despite being old. Tyranny of Dragons continues to sell. All those extra customers are buying out of the existing catalogue and not necessary purchasing the new hotness.That they have not ramped up production is telling; it is at least telling us that they do not believe that doing so increases sales enough to be worth it. At some point D&DBeyond is going to have the same problem that plagues most online stores, discovery. Drivethru and DMsGuild have had this issue for years, in that there is a lot of content buried under a mountain of trash.  Steam has a similar problem, so it offers recommendations and wishlists and the like. D&DBeyond is heading toward a similar place where the sources screen is going to become overwhelming and accelerating the book production accelerates the issue.</blockquote>
