This link shows a graph and goes into some detail about why 5e had such a surge in popularity compared to D&D in the past.


As I said if they start ruining D&D with woke nonsense then it will follow the same path as Starwars, Marvel and DC comics, and other franchises that have. When Disney paid 4 billion for the rights to Starwars they thought it was too big to fail, but after disappointing number on flagship films and losing money on Solo they have scaled down their planned productions massively.
This is a prediction based on a pattern that has continually repeated itself, not a statement on the current state of D&D.
