Granted, but all changes are now sanctioned by HiG and go through a 9 month committee process. Also publisher don't renew their license because they are no longer in control of their rule books. HiG is unable to sustain themselves under the new production criteria, so sell the franchise to a well known publishing house that ends the terms the wikicarpedia introduced.
I wish publisher continue to publish Carcassonne for another 25 years.
