[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 7667783, member: 55961"] ICv2 rankings. And I'm not talking about sells, but support. By stillbirth I ment the support the edition gets, not sells, althought they are tied. D&D came back from the dead with the launch of the 5e core books. The launch wasn't perfect, but it had lots of goodwill and momentum. Gamers were looking forward to it, there wasn't any notable division. Then came the cancellation of the Adventurer's Handbook and a bunch of interviews from designers. People are realizing that D&D, the RPG, won't get much support. This lack of support is not a sign of an edition that is alive and kicking, that maintains the initial enthusiasm. Seems more like a legacy product. If gamers aren't enthusiastic with an edition, they won't play/buy much of it.
