[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8235140, member: 7025997"] Probably C. Once something becomes popular enough, people get sick of it. I think as TwoSix has said you'll probably have people continue playing it once it gets unpopular again (that other thing that got people scared in the 80s and had [I]some[/I] nerd following, heavy metal, never really went away), and there may even be a revival. Heck if I'm still around in 2060 I may be around to see that second D&D revival, with 9th edition games being popular on the VR networks, and wave my old Monster Manual at the kids who visit the nursing home. "You know we had [I]four[/I] base classes in my day? Seven if you were playing the basic game, and three of those were races, sorry, ancestries. Though if you count the AD&D options there were eleven... and we didn't have computers, so we had to calculate all our rolls by hand! And that virus-looking-thing you see on older role-playing stuff...sorry, gotta use the bathroom...where was I? Did you know young people used to like [I]rap[/I]? No, that wasn't it... Oh yeah, the thing that looks like a virus was a twenty-sided die, and we used to roll those to see what our results were. And we had tables, and you used to look up the result in the table. No, not that kind of table...it was a big bunch of numbers, printed on a page...you've seen physical books, right? on paper? Never mind. Anyway, you had to look up stuff in these tables, and where are you going? Kids these days. I don't know what this country is coming to." [/QUOTE]
