[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9260372, member: 59816"] You know how I've said that if he had phrased it as "I'm concerned about the future" rather than "the Golden Age is Over" then I'd have been on board with him? Well ditto when it comes to "I'm concerned that the Suits at Hasbro don't understand what maked D&D great. From what I'm told, they don't seem to care to learn; they think that they know 'better'. This is usually a recipe for disaster." I'd have rubbed my chin and said, "Yup. That's very troubling!" But he has to go and worry about Critical Role numbers and the Matt Coville MCDM RPG - two things that are generally indicative of the overall HEALTH of the industry. (Yes, even the CR numbers. They may have lost viewership, but they are still doing extremely well for themselves, and their losses are easily explained, as [USER=11760]@Whizbang Dustyboots[/USER] points out above). They will be fine. At any rate, I guess Ben Riggs managed to promote his book so I guess he got what he wanted? Though I wouldn't be surprised if he did a bit of damage to his reputation in the process. I'll still read his next book, but I'm significantly less trusting of his opinions now. [/QUOTE]
