[QUOTE="Wayside, post: 5327072, member: 8394"] The CMO of the parent company of one of WotC's biggest competitors posted several screeds about how D&D is failing (because, you know, the PHB2 sold through its initial print run, which is clearly terribad and not at all what the PHB1 did), and how the real future of tabletop RPGs just happens to mirror the current trajectory of his own company. But actual information? Weight? Nope. He was just towing the company line. If you think his comments about D&D were glum, you should've seen what he said about White Wolf after the CCP merger. Not only the "just an imprint" and "legacy business" bits, but stuff like: "...look for White Wolf to become ultimately focused on its MMORPG offering, and by the end of 2007, to have reduced its paper-based publishing business to a shell entity, providing reprints of its games to a dwindling number of buyers." He thinks tabletop games are just generally done for. [/QUOTE]
