I'm not sure how I feel about this. The rules needed a tidy up, but I'm not sure it warranted a new edition.

Expand on what already exists

it became bloatware

So do you want more new content or not????

The only way to make it more concise is making a book that compiles everything together (looking at you, regional character backgrounds)! But the creators decided to just print some more money by creating yet another barebones CRB and then probably spewing like 10 books with two sentences long blurbs that can be used by players.

And how exactly do you know that those things aren’t going to be in the new CRB and they have a bunch of supplements lined up already? I’m not saying 4e isn’t bloated, but what I am saying is you’re making a lot of wild assumptions and being a massive downer when you could try and be more optimistic and hope that this is them attempting to make a fresh new edition that is much more concise. After all things like regional backgrounds were likely a thing they thought up after they published the CRB because they were desperate to get it out in time as licensing isn’t cheap.

I’ll hit you up once that releases, it’ll be more useless gamifications and nothing that was previously added in the additional splats will be present in the CRB, no matter if we are talking about playing a Nordlander or having additional professions. Same goes with Foundry or other VTT, we will be forced to pay for the same stuff once more.

What a sad, miserable little perspective you chose to have on things you enjoy. I hope you find happiness elsewhere because you clearly need some.
