Let’s be honest Sammy. You have little knowledge on anything you purport to talk about on the matter, and your views on the game are beyond eccentric.Let's be honest, anything from Paradox/Renegade/Modiphius on the popularity of V5 is to be taken with a grain of salt. And the fact that it's supposedly a "majority of new players" might have to do with the fact that they actively try to chase away fans of the older editions (unless they completely tow the party line 100% in full lockstep) and at this point, I'm surprised they haven't memory holed all the older editions yet.
V5 held a top five retail chart status for three quarters in a row, when it came out and was Modiphius’ best selling product they have ever had. The WoD brand is evidently bigger than just the tabletop game, with all sorts of multimedia games under it. Renegade Studios seems to have been picked as the best means for the Paradox to build on licenses moving forward. There are two other incoming WoD games, based on V5, billed for next year along with supplements. The only thing holding much of these back is global distribution (tax alignment, etc), although Renegade is apparently working these out. Only just recently, were they able to sort out distribution to the UK and EU markets.
All of the previous editions remain on sale through drivethrurpg.com.
