Note to WotC: They're not TRPGs. They're just RPGs.

Yes, it has rules. But you (or I, or any individual) are pretty much incapable of injecting new ones. The rules are by consensus, not authority.

Eh, what? That's news to me - I was sure I'd been given supreme authority over language and related topics. Didn't you get the memo?

The last group to have such official authority were in Germany in the 1930's-1940s, as I understand.

If we're including languages other than English then I'll submit the Académie française, which is still active. Which, under the circumstances, is rather reassuring.

Whenever I'm in a conversation discussing my hobbies, I state I play RPGs, which is followed by World of Warcraft? Which I say, OK, I meant tabletop RPGs, "not any of that other crap" (and crap it is, IMO, whether a CRPG or anything else).
