Not having been able to watch the full video, mind mind expanding on that a bit?

Almost the opposite: based on what I have heard about the demographics of tabletop gamers, these results still skew towards overrepresentijg conventions attendance.

It does make sense with the knowledge that most gamers don't go to conventions. Might be a more diverse result with a differentiation between "0 (this past 1e months)" and "I've never been to a gaming convention"...

So, based.om the data collected by our host, the first million dollar Kickstarter was only 9 years ago. Since Covid, the number of large TTRPG Kockstsrters has increased sharply, and there are many, many more that make a more modest but successful run. The number and variety of TTRPGs beong...

True, but is there hard data on any up and down for cons, other than the Covid collapse era?

Yet it is a symbiotic relationship: people spend money on their hobbies, which generates industry.
