I’m not complaining, more new games the better, and some of them are very interesting.
Also, at least some of these youtubers turned devs have tried Pathfinder and that wasn’t it, so spare the “why won’t they just play Pathfinder?” comments
Any DM can tell you that the D&D 5e rules are outright terrible in some major aspects, like magic item classification (go look at every “major rare” magic item and see how v wildly different they are in terms is vusefulness) or monster abilities (mostly just removing spellcasting for no reason).
So it’s no wonder that seasoned DMs homebrew (or use/adapt other DMs’ homebrew).
You might be right - I have not DM’d 5e enough to judge. But I can say that every D&D edition has some major flaws. This is not 5e-specific.
It is by far not as bad in many other games as in D&D IMO
I feel like D&D has a content problem, as in they’re trying to push as much content out, at the cost of the quality of that content, and they’re not spending that time improving the game as that would make the content incompatible.
