Its products do not have WotC's seal on it, so it isn't WotC supporting its edition. Out of the 7 products WotC released you have a starter kit that is for noobs. So we are left with the core books, which is the birth of an edition. The very basis. Cool. What else? Psionics? Planes? Campaign settings (old or new), MM2? No. What else as came out? Well not much. Two lackluster APs (one of which is divided in two books). Not very enticing to buy and nothing but those are coming out. 1 or 2 a year. Want something else? Too bad for you. WotC doesn't want your patronage. Maybe if WotC actually published ground braking APs that reinvented the product like Paizo did, and still does, the strategy of putting all their eggs in one basket wouldn't be so bad. Right now it is an edition with core rules books and not much else to give it attractiveness.Not content. Just redundant stuff to drain your money. Like Fantasy Ground's platform is not content, just a platform for the little content we have.Wow. 4 races. Unearthed stuff is nice, but limited in scope and length. Not playtested either. It is scraps. Not meat.A year of stuff out? Read the interview. If another AP comes out this year, we're lucky. D&D with 1 or 2 APs coming out a year is not a lively edition. It is on life support. Lets see what Merriam-Webster has to say about the wrd people: . Um. So, no. Aside from the brand manager saying in the interview found in the OP?Video game gamers consumme a lot more than one a year. The problem is platform for RPGs. AKA the rules. Only WotC can make D&D stuff, unless it releases a OGL. The platform for video games is either a PC or a console. Once you have a PC, you can buy many games. Consoles work with third parties to have content for their platform. WotC isn't doing that. Maybe they will you say? Well, so far all that has been said points to no. Ok, the APs. But those are subpar and niche. The platform isn't supported. That is why it lost its liveliness. Its momemtum. Want psionics, planar details, campaign settings, new classes, more magic items, other monster manuals? Too bad for you. You have all that you'll get.   I saw more enthusiasm with 3e and Pathfinder. Well, not at first. When the core books were caming out, there was lots of positive feedback. Once the DMG was out people started looking at what was coming next. The Adventurer's Handbook was cancelled and no product are annouced after PotA. Enthusiasm led way to disappointement. Maybe frustration. Sure some are happy, but those are people who probably wouldn't have bought other products (based on their comments about dislike of bloat). Check out this thread and the people voicing disappointement. Or the thread started by the Jon Brazer guy, saying D&D isn't maintaining his interest, to paraphrase.</blockquote>
