[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9671218, member: 6796468"] You responded to "There's no guarantee that the specific playerbase of this game, who have taken to it in the very narrow manner it has been presented" with "Post apocalyptic movies and shows have been hits!" As if that means a single thing relative to the point that I made. You know what else has been a hit over the past 20 years? John Wick and Fast and the Furious movies. So we should immediately get the Russian Mafia and Street Racing into D&D right? And license the Marvel Universe for use of the characters' likenesses in Faerun, too! Those movies literally made BILLIONS over the past 20 years for Disney. And it's not like Hasbro hasn't made Disney Licensed Toys over the past forever and a day. Just imagine the team up of Wolverine and Drizz't Do'Urden! People'd go crazy for it! (Yes. This is a strawman argument to extremes meant to illustrate that you didn't refute my point so much as sidestep it to pretend it is irrelevant) Nah, man. You nay say. You come in, argue why I'm wrong, offer no alternative explanation for what the "Real" problem is, and act like you've accomplished something. All you've done is say why you think my reasoning is false with each point devoid of the greater context. There is no counter-argument or position you've taken. It's -just- refutation of my position. [MEDIA=youtube]uLlv_aZjHXc[/MEDIA] And that's what it's almost inevitably been every time we argue. I come up with cogent arguments to explain a larger phenomenon, you say "No. Here are the reasons I say No." and leave it there. [/QUOTE]
