[QUOTE="HarbingerX, post: 7916872, member: 53951"] The purpose of the games is not to deliver quality, it's to make sure that people outside of the very niche hobby to tabletop wargaming know what warhammer is. Couple that with a great ruleset like 8th edition and AoS and you have a boom in new adoption by a younger generation, which is exactly what we're seeing. D&D 5e is a great ruleset, and the streaming has lead to a lot of new players. What they haven't done as good a job of compared to games workshop is get the D&D IP into as many eyeballs as possible. They've done it in boardgames, but that's also very niche (though booming). Of course it's not as easy for D&D because of all the setting fragmentation and the reality that everyone's table setting is different. If I say Warhammer to someone they immediately know what that means from the video games. I still think Hasbro should let someone else take on the risk of video game development. [/QUOTE]
