A good TTRPG is the first thing I want out of D&D, but if I could have that AND an awesome movie franchise AND a cool cartoon series AND play through The Temple of Elemental Evil in a good videogame, that would be pretty frickin' choice. D&D has had a problem where most of those additional media elements have sucked pretty hard. To me, that's a solvable problem. Admittedly, they are also in a position to let Hasbro dinguses make crap with the D&D brand (as opposed to outside dinguses like Atari), but it's not a bad strategy. Even a stridently low-tier, mediocre game like DDO can reap HUGE financial benefits. And if that means a healthier TTRPG, I'm into it. And if it means a weaker TTRPG, well, in the next 10-20 years we'll be talking about how Paizo is more interested in making lousy dingus-driven Pathfinder movies. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The TTRPG market ain't colossal. Anybody who makes a TTRPG who wants to grow their company is going to look beyond the TTRPG. The most TTRPG fans can really hope for is that the hobby grows and good games get played a lot. That ain't gonna happen just by making more TTRPGs.</blockquote>
