...Partially because they released the reprints which not only generated its own excitements but reminded people who was the true heir to the D&D tradition.
Which just illustrates the goodwill that the original IP holder has over any third party competitor if the IP holder does good work.
Come on the reprints were just a gift to us old farts, I'm pretty sure they had little impact on the success of 5e or WotC's bottomline. It was mostly praised by the OSR crowd and we know the entire OSR makes up about 1/10th what WotC's 5e books sell.
It is good PR, good for the community of players, GMs and designers and important for historical purposes so something I 100 percent support (although where are our B/X POD?) but let's not toot our own horn too much here.
