People have said over and over again that 5e is only successful because of the internet and such, but really, 4e. There was internet then. D&D was dying. People thought 5e was probably the end and Pathfinder was the future.D&D 5e exists in the same space as boardgames now. They entered the mainstream 15-20 years ago and they're not going away either. People like to socialize in person away from screens and with tangible objects.Will the rate of sales stop climbing? Of course it will. It can't climb forever. RPGs will reach a stable equilibrium far above the $15 million/year they used to be at the end of 4e. Well, until the collapse of the economy creates the next great depression and climate change kills us all. Nothing lasts forever.</blockquote>
