[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8506468, member: 7032025"] And remind how far it is in terms of popularity ? And no, it's not impressive at all, 5e put D&D back in first place in what, months ? There is exactly zero proof of this. For me, in addition to the inherent quality of the game (today, if something is of low quality, it's shot down immediately by popular social media anyway, and whatever a corporation might do counts for nothing) the main difference is in the social media and the fact that D&D is incredibly more accessible, again an incredible inherent asset.

Yes, this is what you call quality, satisfying the customers. If 5e had been really a poor game, then it would not have worked that well. Who is speaking about "one true system" here ?
