I’m finally moving away from D&D. Hasbro and their shenanigans have played a part in this, but the reality is after 30 years of fantasy settings (99% in D&D universes), I need something new. New setting, new theme, new ruleset.
The d20 system was revolutionary, but that was a very long time ago. So many game systems have followed with their own take on the d20 system, but it all ultimately feels the same. The new edition of D&D is not going to change that. 5.5 (or 5.2) is more than likely going to feel like a refinement than a new way to play. Going to bow out of Hasbro, and now is the time to do it.

Thank you for your comment.
I agree with many of your points.
I haven’t given up entirely on D&D yet. I am still playing 5E. But I am reserving my final decision until after the release of the new Player’s Handbook.
Unlike you, I am not looking for an entirely new ruleset. But for some of the same reasons you mention I may switch to a TTRPG that is similar to D&D by a different company. I am currently leaning toward Tales of the Valiant by Kobold Press.
When you do switch to a different game, please let me know which one you switch to, and why.
