That would be anything produced after 3.5. The brand has been going down for a long time. That's not to say there is nothing good in the current 5e, just for me it seems like it lost its soul with corporate oversight.

4e was D&D for people who would rather be playing WoW.

5e is a watered-down anemic shadow of 3.5.

I actually quite like the 5th edition, since it simplifies some of the most convoluted/boring areas of the 3rd edition.

Also coming after the 4th edition might have helped quite a bit in the perception

You say simplified, I say dumbed down.

But yeah 4e didn't say an especially high bar.
