[QUOTE="Marc_C, post: 8166409, member: 7025897"] Thinking back over 40 years of playing RPGs my buying habits changed. In the 1980s 95% off all my gaming money was going to TSR. Micro-games by Steve Jackson Games and GDW go the rest. I only bought rpgs published by TSR. In the 1990s I would say TSR got 70% with AD&D2e. I spent 30% on CCGs and euro boardgames. Again, I only bought rpgs by TSR. I did not buy Alternity because of CCGs. Again, I only bought rpgs by TSR. One exception was Star Wars WEG, which I played. In the 2000s 50% went to WoTC. The other portion went to Warhammer 40k and Warmachines. The d20 OGL sucked me in and I didn't buy RPGs by other companies. Except GURPS 4e, which I never played. 2010-2019 saw another decrease. Only 40% to WoTC. I spent 60% on war games by indy companies and other RPG companies. I only played D&D4e two years. I played Savage Worlds, Eclipse Phase, Ashen Stars and BRP to name a few. In 2020 70% of my gaming purchases went to Green Ronin and their AGE system. 20% to D&D 5e and 10% on various war-games and boardgames. Half of the money to WoTC was in D&D miniatures and boardgames. The other half in D&D5e RPGs books. Note: I don't play computer games. How have your buying gaming habits evolved over the years? [/QUOTE]
