[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7766720, member: 37579"] That’s 300,000 accounts, not posters. And that’s made over the history of the site, not active forumites. It includes a lot of former posters, lurkers, sock puppet accounts, RP alts, etc. The site has maybe 2,000-3,000 active posters. (Which is still nothing to sneeze at.) Yes, we’ve gotten a lot of new posters. But not a representative number: three-quarters of the posters here aren’t new. Compare this to reddit/r/dnd that has 784,230 subscribers with 4,717 online last I checked. And that’s one subreddit of many. See what the posters there are talking about. Compare the conversations. And looking at the Amazon chart, even the less popular storyline adventures are selling better than Starfinder and Pathfinder, the next most popular game. This means they’re potentially selling better than 4e! Even the old adventures are still selling, which is a dramatic difference from old editions where new products would spike is sales and then vanish, falling out of print. WotC is keeping all their products available now. They’re doing very, very well. And accessories like [I]Guide to Everything [/I]and [I]Guide to Monsters[/I] continue to sell well. And [I]Guide to Ravnica[/I] is selling very well still. Meanwhile, streaming games has only grown in popularity over the last two-three years and shows no sign of slowing down. If it is a fad, it’s a long lasting one. (And the Critical Role campaign setting book is also outselling Paizo’s RPGs.) While the popularity made wax and wane, I doubt people will stop watching altogether. [/QUOTE]
