[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8267430, member: 86653"] Interesting dodge. It's not lost on me that you're now selectively quoting and didn't bother responding to anything but the bit that you could keep arguing about. Again, as the title of the thread clearly states: D&D is not a video game. And as anyone with literally any experience playing the game: D&D is not a video game. We're not talking about MMOs. We're talking about D&D. Blizzard stopped releasing sub data in 2015 but they did an API update for Battlenet in 2018 that leaked sub data. WeakAuras posted about it. According to that data WoW had 1.7m subscribers. That was three years ago, even with the new content cycling through, subs are declining steadily over time...which is why they stopped releasing that data. Critical Role has ~725,000 Twitch followers and 1.2m subscribers on YouTube. It's a good bet that at this point Critical Role has more viewers than WoW has subscribers. Only in the hypothetical you've built so you can continue to argue. You recognize that if a player read your DM notes it would be wrong of them and you'd be mad about it. Modules are nothing more than pre-packaged DM's notes. And yet you refuse to admit reading the module is a problem. All I have left is that you're arguing just to argue rather than engaging with anything remotely akin to good faith. If I have a player who needs to be told not to spoil the adventure (either through reading the module or my notes), I don't need that player at my table. [/QUOTE]
