Plus D&D 5 was designed to be more modular, so adding in rules should be easy. It also makes sense given how poorly Pathfinder 2 was received by the fans of Pathfinder 1. This is smart given the number of people that play D&D 5 now. Everything will be 100% backward compatible. Right now we are being told these are just going to be rule clarifications and reorganizations. With the publication of Tasha's and other books, there have been enough rule additions and alternates to make a Revised Core Rule Set a welcome publication.
His response was, 'oh cool!' I have seen similar responses from others in the D&D 5 community. When I heard about this I mentioned it to my son last night when he got home from work. It's not just good marketing, they would be negligent if they didn't do it. The message from WotC will be clear, you have enjoyed D&D for 50 years now and THIS is the ultimate edition.
Then third quarter (or even fourth to get that Christmas dollar) D&D 5.5 will hit the shelves. They can spend the first two-quarters of 2024 hyping D&D from its roots and evolution. I have been saying EVERYWHERE that WotC will not do anything until the 50th anniversary of D&D in 2024.
