Developpment in what, of what. The market studies are already done. How many of these 7 or 8 vid products are going to be based party, RTwP.

I doubt I'll be anywhere near as interested in any of these as the unofficial ones: Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen (3.5e OGL) and Solasta: Crown of the Magister (5.1e OGL), but I'd love to be proven wrong

Depends what it includes. If it's single-player only, NWN is the last game I'd want it to be like.

Development of “products“.

There are references to Dragonlance in the 5e players handbook, but there hasn't been anything new released there in a long time (at least that I'm aware of). Ebberon is a popular newer campaign setting that has been getting some love in 5e though.

My understanding is that D&D is currently the most popular/successful it's ever been. Most people attribute that to the popularity of D&D podcasts making it more accessible to people and the increased media presence on shows like Strangers Things. So it certainly seems like a good time for it to return to the computer game realm.

Make ours the ninth.
Wait
It's not D&D, but close!
