a snapshot of the industry

[Waller]

I was looking at the Enworld news page, and realized how it summarized the industry perfectly. If it's not D&D nobody is interested.... by factor of HUNDREDS. I don't know why ENnworld even bothers to report on non-dnd stuff. Nobody reads it.

Why not turn this website back into a DnD news site like how it started? It was a worthy experiment but nobody cares about the other stuff.

I think its more of a case that an updated version of D&D is coming so people are interested more in that, then other things right now. So its the same when 3E was coming. Just ignore the articles youre not interested in, thats what I do.

No. The screenshot shows today because I did it today. A screenshot from 3 years ago would show the exact same thing. Nobody has EVER been interested in anything that's not DND (or a culture war thing, which is even more popular than dnd).

Personally, I like seeing material for other RPGs, even if I don't leave a comment.
It's easy enough not to look at those articles if you don't want to.

That's the opposite of what I want. I was expressing regret that nobody reads non-dnd articles, as proved by the stats, and wondering why enworld even bothers as nobody reads them. I do. Apparently nobody else does.

Yes, D&D articles get 100/1000x the views that non-D&D articles do. It's the reality of the industry. But in my view, it's a duty to report on the non-D&D stuff, even if nobody reads it, even if those articles cost more than they make. Because somebody might read them.

What is the D&D game you all are talking about?

 

[schneeland]

I appreciate that ENWorld has articles that cover other things than the current or upcoming iteration of D&D. I would probably visit the site much less if they weren't there. I rarely comment on the front page articles, though - most discussions that interest me happen only on the forums.

I've bought an increasing number of non-D&D RPGs over the last 3-4 years, and that's mostly thanks to coverage on this site. I may not comment often, but I would find EN World less interesting if all it was, was D&D only and all the time.

This is correct. Article views go:
