This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Now Bob the World Builder is on WotC's list of youtubers they use to send out content to get reviewed.  He put out a survey matching the last survey from WotC on satisfaction with D&D.  Here are the results:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0g4nR--hjPGDC5DLphaCRaX__zPVJVP67aXbmu6gMZNxSpA/viewanalytics

Highlight:

How do you feel about Wizards of the Coast

28%: I hate this company
50.6% I don't like this company
18.6% I'm neutral on this company
2.6% I like this company
0.2% I love this company

So WotC really has gotten people to hate them at some really high levels.

Yes, it helps to explain why the kickstarters for Shadowdark and DC20 were so successful. More and more people are done with WotC. However, D&D 5e also has a cult following who will continue to spend huge amounts of money on the game even if they dislike WotC.

Looking at the questions; WotC may be hated, but most of those questions still like to love D&D, but don't think it will be heading in a good direction in the future.

Ground seems right for someone to pull a Pathfinder on early 5e (basically they'd need to backfill equivalent feats and subclasses into the CC SRD5.1).

Or also just DONT KNOW that other games exist.

I took some extra Basic Fantasy books that I bought to a local comic/games shop. 
They had no idea it existed at all.  They only knew of 5e.

I told them theres a whole world of OSR games out there.

I think that's already been done with Level Up Advanced 5e. Between that, Tales of the Valiant, and buying used WotC books secondhand nobody who wants to play 5e has to give money to WotC if they don't want to.

If Pundit put out a lean and mean version of 5e with nice art that portrayed adventurers actually adventuring, and not baking cookies or going to proms, I would buy it.

I would also consider a purchase, myself.
