Artificer in the srd?

Do we think they'll ever be added because as is we basically get nothing. New books will come out and they won't reference artificer so we won't get new spells, not a single third party is allowed to reference them. Why do they feel the need to shaft an entire class?

Given the history of how it worked in the 5e era, I'd say it seems unlikely. It's frustrating as hell.

The SRD gives you the basic rules and basic classes for free. But its a loss leader to get you hooked so you eventually pay money for all the other books to get new classes, subclasses, and so on.

I dont think that approach is ever going away

The point of the SRD is to allow third-party authors to create content based on the existing content without running into copyright issues. What you're describing is more the free Basic Rules book here on D&D Beyond.
