I gave up on WOTC some time ago, but they just keep adding nails to their coffin. Ah well. I might play D&D (whatever edition) with friends but I will not buy more from WOTC.
D&D died with 3.5 as far as I'm concerned, it was the first causality of the soy invasion for reasons you'll understand perfectly if you think about it for 0.1 seconds. And it isn't something you can ignore either, because the rules themselves, aka the things you are buying suffer.
But even in 3.5 I found it woefully limiting, the sorts of things you would need do just so characters other than primary spellcasters can even participate was just laughable, and that says nothing about the cat herding involved, etc.
I eventually just said screw it and made my own system, PRO is loosely D&D based but has far more influence from other things with the most being original content. And TLB uses the same system but with a different setting. And it isn't something that would work in tabletop at all, but it is something that makes warriors and rogues valid archetypes, which is what I wanted. That and not hitching my wagon somewhere else, resulting in me having wasted time and effort when they go full soytard (you never go full soytard!)

I've heard good things about Hyperborea...
