Absolute nonsense.In other fields, the design principles are similar to what WotC has been doing, but they have access to user data from broader research initiatives. In TTRPGs, WotC has had to start the data collection from scratch, because nobody else had done it yet.
Indeed, it's kind of the exact opposite of the surveys. So it's genuinely false for you to claim that. In other games, they use actual user metrics, and surveys are very rarely used, and only as a supplement to those - and what people tend to see if that the people who actually do the surveys are wildly unrepresentative of the people actually playing the game. Real shocker there.
But no, the design principles are absolutely not similar in any major cases. I can't speak to musicology, I know literally nothing about that, but apparently you are rather ignorant about game development.
