[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5977361, member: 58416"] I am not emotionally invested in the popularity of D&D 5th Edition one way or the other. At this point in time, I do not feel the popularity of the game (or lack of popularity) will evoke a strong reaction from me. I think my answer to the second question is a question of my own. Am I part of the audience the designers are shooting for? I have no doubt they will create a game which some people enjoy. However, I am not convinced I am part of the target audience. I have a hard time relating to a lot of things which the community at large is supposedly said to want. I think Hasbro's infrastructure should be something which benefits D&D. What Hasbro will do as a company is not something I can answer though. I do not begrudge someone for having fun; even if it is with a game I do not care for. Currently, my favorite rpg is a game which is not part of the D&D family. I still have many friends who prefer D&D. I will close by saying I will not buy D&D 5th Edition solely based upon name recognition nor will I buy it because of brand loyalty. At this point in time, I do not feel brand loyalty is something D&D has earned from me. In fact, I would say it is something WoTC has lost; I say that because at one time I probably would have purchased their products without much questioning involved. I am in no way suggesting that I know with 100% certainty that I will not buy the game. I am only suggesting that I will not buy D&D just for the sake of buying/supporting D&D. If WoTC -as a company- wants my money, they will be required to earn it by making a product I want to purchase. [/QUOTE]
