I am willing to bet top ten type movies, video games, hobby games and online video rentals are all doing at least pretty good if not fine. |
My experience, as the owner of a FLGS (in Michigan, no less), is that inexpensive entertainment tends to get hit
less during an economic downturn, but it still gets hit. People simply have less discretionary income. Some of the comments here and on the
WotC thread include the idea that if
4e were somehow "hot enough," then Wizards could safely ignore the economy. That's simply nonsense. Well-run businesses are always looking ahead, both in terms of obstacles and opportunities.
