[QUOTE="GameDaddy, post: 7719458, member: 80711"] Uhhhmm. no, not the boss of you, just displeased that you would not do proper research before estimating the size of the RPG Industry. Already provided. D&B Says WOTC earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $295 Million in 2016. That's D&D, Magic, Everything else. Magic is still #1 of course. I have seen D&D 5e in every book and game store still around. That means it's probably #2. What makes you think WOTC would be earning less than they did in 2003-2005? ...and we are not even looking at the other big RPG companies. green Ronin, SJG Games. Games Workshop. Ooooh... check this out. Earning report for Games Workshop alone from June-November of 2016 - 13.8 Million pounds [I]AFTER EXPENSES[/I], which is something like $17.6 Million dollars at current exchange rates, they alone are earning almost $40 million a year AFTER EXPENSES. WOTC is still bigger than them. What does that make your ridiculous claim. Games Workshop Earning Report 2016 (1/2 year report) [url]https://19485-presscdn-0-14-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2016-17-Press-Statement-final.pdf[/url] [I]Why are you pretending the established RPG companies are not making any money? You can still redeem yourself by being a man, and fessing up, and then go do some real research and report back on your website with some semblance of truth, instead of the absolutely ridiculous claim you started this thread with.[/I] [/QUOTE]
