need is for yet another OSR product. As far as I can tell, the only need that must be filled is that of the creators. This isn't some sort of industry which stands or falls by its profit margin, I would hazard that every single OSR product owes its existence primarily to the desire of it's maker to create something. I don't believe the OSR is at all demand-driven, so the existence or not of the original product in a legal format makes a jot of difference.
I've bought quite a lot of the B/X PDFs, and I don't see myself giving up writing ...
Well, i've posted something along the lines of "just how many megadungeons do we need, anyway", but that was more of a wondering aloud why someone would announce another megadungeon in an already crowded field, sort of thing, rather than a "OMG, no one should ever create another megadungeon EVAR" reaction.

LL does 2 things to B/X that I always houseruled anyway: spells for clerics at first level, and Leather as AC 8. So yeah, if an elder gawd stepped in and grabbed all of the B/X printed and digital material ever created and chucked it into the void, I'd get along quite well with LL.
