Following the release of the d20 SRD by Wizards of the Coast, numerous third-party publishers decided to hop on the bandwagon. This represented an explosion of creativity as well as, by the predictions of Sturgeon's Law, a metric assload of crap. Eventually, the field begin to winnow. Some publishers could not meet the grade. Some could not make a profit. A few ran aground of the terms of the d20 System license and the OGL. Eventually, the market achieved some level of balance.
