[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9263256, member: 6716779"] I watched the video responsible in its entirety. It was two hours long. They used hard data and multiple points of it. Since 2021 or so pretty much every adventure was selling drastically lower amounts than two years earlier. Same time frame first few weeks of sales. They did not do this for core books or whatever. So the original video looked at the new adventures roughly since 2021 or 22. What caused that decline wasn't expressly stated it's probably a combination of factors. Game plateued with Covid money probably (US 3k handed out?). In real terms game may have peaked 2019. Dollar wise Covid suger money and 5E will wind down before be can see what new normal is. And we won't know what new normal is for several years of 5.5. Eventually they will plateau. I suspect they already have maybe not in dollar amounts and Beyond might milk the dollars even if they do decline in sales numbers. Not that we get the hard numbers. They probably do this for several reasons controlling the narrative being a big one (see 4E reaction). Perception is reality after all online. Until it's not. [/QUOTE]
