But again, you can't play at all without a DM. How are all these new players actually playing the game, if DMing is as hard as you claim?At work. Will find later.
I think the crux of the issue is that on the DM side it was clearly designed for first and second edition DMs. But first and second edition DMs for the most part did not stick with the game or switch over at all.
5e somehow attracted audience much different from what it was designed for due to its ease of playing.
