Funny! But the doomcasting is kind of getting out of control.
D&D has survived, inter alia, the ousted of its founder (Gygax). The (mis)management of the Blume family. Multiple financial deaths (1985, 1997). The Satanic Panic. Repeated questionable management decisions. Alienating large parts of their fan base due to litigation and C&D letters in the 80s. Alienating the hobbyist community in the 70s and 80s with their attempt to wall off D&D from the rest of the community. The various edition wars and schisms, including, but not limited to, the 3e/4e debacle (WHICH PEOPLE STILL FIGHT TODAY ... including, in a roundabout way, in threads about OGLs).
I could keep going, but I completely agree with you. Yeah, this is definitely worthy of concern and coverage, but the sheer amount of "OMG THIS IS THE WORSTEST THING 4EVA AND D&D IS DEAD NOW HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA" is .... well, we'll see, right?
