The funny part is even if they aren't sold very well now... in the future they could be jewels for collectors and speculators.

The brief interview was helpful to me in that it told me what Chris Perkins actually does for WotC now (albeit in a very.. general sense):

Wow! And to give that some context what – on a day-to-day basis – do you actually do?
These days, my primary responsibility is to manage the team of designers and editors who create official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS tabletop game products. I also assist and advise other D&D teams as well as business partners. As a D&D steward, I also have the privilege of representing this game I love at conventions and elsewhere. Much of my time is spend in meetings and answering email, but I always carve out time to creatively contribute to the game.

Maybe the info was easily available elsewhere, but with Perkins being in a number of videos recently for the 2024 rulebooks when afaik he hasn't historically been a designer but rather writer and creative lead.. I was wondering why he was in those videos and interviews!

Probably both.
