I think D&D could move away from the old OSR-holdouts /if/ Hasbro/WOTC
put in the effort to give us something new; new settings, new
adventures, new resources designed around the super-heroic style of
modern tabletop. But for whatever reason, they prefer to leave that
sort of thing up to its fans and third-party authors. The corporation
is too wrapped up in its old properties, which are tightly engaged
with the old school style, and too afraid to make a clean break from
it. So you get this sort of half-assed situation where nobody is
entirely happy with D&D anymore, because its owners lack the strength
to make the hard choice.
