[QUOTE="zedturtle, post: 9235455, member: 6830534"] That seems reasonable, for the general market; no matter what happens here, other sites, social media, and even YouTube, the average customer is going to buy the 2024 D&D product because they see in a store or advertised on somewhere. But if the folks who buy once and seldom again are the only ones buying, because the engaged folks are committing to Daggerheart, MCDM, Tales of the Valiant, Pathfinder 2 Remaster, and/or many smaller projects, then Hasbro will see an effect. The Long Tail is real, but only if you have the fans onboard. I imagine we will see a greater diversity in the field in the next few years, but there will be a sizable D&D player base, but whether that is in any way comparable to the growth of 5e after the OGL was released*, we will have to wait and see. — • — • — • — * This was the most egregious part of Riggs' essay. It took 2 [B][I]years [/I][/B]for the SRD 5.0 to release and a few more months to get SRD 5.1. To complain about not have a new SRD now or even on release day is fallacious in the worst way. [/QUOTE]
