The funniest thing about this is that all of the third party tabletop RPG money put together is probably like 10% of the size of D&D's official products. This is not an industry that generates huge profits, and tons of releases make little to no profit.
Seriously, like, you already have the monopoly. You’re the vast majority of this market! Doing something like this is just trying to get blood from a stone
My understanding is that Paizo is like, the second biggest TTRPG company and pulls in like 12 million in revenue a year. WotC already had essentially all the TTRPG money there is to be had. Completely unforced error here.

Corporatism is not about making a profit. It's about maximizing profits.
Flipping a coin, and if it’s heads you go from 95% market share to 98%, if it’s tails you go from 95% to 50%. :galaxy-brain:
