If outside of looking at that (for a week or so) there is no uptick in D&D for months to several years but instead we see a continuing decline, then there was no bump - unless for you the short term of a week or two where people looked at their new book qualifies.For me it does not, that is just a sale. The bump would have to go well into 2026 at a minimum, better yet 2 to 3 years, for me to see it as a bump. Instead we have a falling line pretty much immediately after the core books were released right until now.You could have gotten that exact same line and usage number without releasing 5.5, it looks very much like the continuation of the line from before the new core was released, so the new core did not make a difference outside of generating sales for the core books, they did not breathe new life in the game that was maybe starting to get stale after 10 years.Let’s see what the next 12 months show, but so far there was no change in trajectory</blockquote>
