If they aren't then WotC isn't going to have any interest in the RPG market --
because those are the biggest sellers behind D&D.
My point was (and is) that describing the RPG industry as a "fantasy ghetto"
just isn't the case. In fact, most of the successful games in the industry
*aren't* fantasy games for the very simple reason that nobody can compete with
D&D. Any resources you put into a D&Dish game are going to be better spent on
giving caviar to your pet dog.
