Several years ago there was a discussion of how DriveThruRPG dominated the market for small press RPG publishers whose products were primarily digital. While I can't remember if anyone spoke with any certainty as to precisely how big they were (I distinctly recall that one publisher estimated that they had between 80% and 85% of the total market, but I can't find the quote now) the consensus seemed to be that no other store (such as Paizo, Warehouse 23, the Open Gaming Store, etc.) got anywhere near as much traffic.
Given how big remote gaming has gotten in the last year or so, does this still hold true? Has the pandemic increased demand for PDF products in general? What about the rise of virtual tabletops with marketplaces for plug-in adventures (e.g. buying D&D 5th Edition adventures on Roll20)? Does DriveThruRPG seem to have even more of a market presence now? Less? The same?
