Well, he certainly gets a larger proportion of the big event marquee releases than anyone else but without knowing what other writers would have done with those releases, I can't say it's greed or ego as I think you're saying. Yet I do think there's just got to have been a better 50th anniversary story with the sandbox of all of classic Who to play in. Even if it meant reducing some Doctors to smaller cameos to concentrate on one strand. Zagreus took us to far into complete continuity nonsense with a massively convoluted idea for the 40th but LATE took us to the other end of the spectrum where it was an event in need of a story. There must be a middle ground. Well, there is - Moffat found it. Still, if it sold well - and I'm sure it did - job done.
The issue of DWM is somewhere after moving house, but I distincitily remember Nick himself didn't express a dislike for multi-Doctor stories, just the fan reaction to them (which is where this thread gestated from) and was the source of his reluctance.
I'm glad to be proven wrong that these stories aren't popular or viewed favourably

Do they?
They each have their charms. I do wish it was organized more like Light at the End, but hey
Then again, I don't pay much attention to fandom at large. This forum, and for a while before Gallifrey Base. Actually haven't been there for a year+. Hmm.
