So there is a lot to choose from to make them happy, but the problem is that very few people play those games. I can understand the frustration when a person wants to play a game but no one else does. I felt that way through 3e and 4e, I realized that there were other games out there but I didn't want to put in the effort to learn them/find players. So I played the e6 variant of 3e and didn't play 4e at all. What I didn't do is bemoan the games for being terrible because they weren't what I wanted.I also think it is common for people who have been in the hobby game scene for a long time to not realize the scope of 5e's popularity. It's not just another D&D edition like 3e or 4e. It is no longer confined to hobby game stores. Reaching #1 on Amazon is no small feat.I am stoked that 5e is doing so well because it is my favourite RPG. Its popularity means it should have a long life and it also means that I have plenty of friends to play with. People who either aren't into hobby games or just on the periphery are playing D&D with me.</blockquote>
