On the other hand, WotC does have a stake in this as owners of the IP. But I guess when I see the ugly ass artwork of those Minsc DnD comics and the recent DnD MtG crossover, they also don't give too many fucks about a consistent and immersive representation of Faerûn anymore.
I cant agree with this ...
Expanding a universe is allways hard work, bcs you litteraly need to add something, that will feel the same (or at least simmilar) but will not be the same ...
Some people will love it, some people will hate it (this is inevidable) ... their ratio can be used to decide how sucesfull you were in your effort, but as long as your product was sucessfull on financial site, nobody cares.
That was what i was trying to say.
I often use Star Wars as an example ...
There is many people who litteraly HATE with burning passion new trillogy ...
But 20y earlier, people HATED the Prequels just the same ...
And i just recently come to
this article, wich i find extremely hilarious (and sad at same time).
But i think it sums the idea pretty well.
