If my memory serves me right, hasbro only owns the sword coast and proximities. If that's the case, it makes sense that everything they publish happens there.
The whole thread is people dunking on Wizards for ignoring all the D&D worlds.
My guess is the kind of players and DMs who wanted epicness have moved to Pathfinder, and Wizards is left with people who prefer simplified 5E rules and will therefore also be avoiding epic adventures and setting expansions and opting for short adventure anthologies instead.
That said, all this material should be gold for beginning DMs. However, given that FR material is separated into ages, I don't see how this fifth age stuff will work for us anytime soon, as I'll be requiring groups to unlock the ages one by one. However, we do have low-level adventures for FR 1E too, so we're good.
