[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8910779, member: 6778210"] Uh, if they are a rounding error, then why does WotC care? Given that you completely misrepresented the whole deal with cancellations, I can't say I have much faith in your pronouncements on the sales of Wizards and 3PPs. But more to the point, giving people more chances to find an audience with other games sounds like something that is way better for the industry than simply having to force everything into the 5E market. It's exploding [I][B]because people are playing RPGs[/B][/I]. The idea that [I]Dungeons and Dragons [/I]as a brand drove this misses that it was simply people introducing people to the concept of roleplaying via things like [I]Critical Role [/I]or [I]Stranger Things[/I]. There is nothing intrinsic in D&D right now that is really driving this explosion other than its name. Did it? Are you sure about that? Or are you just saying it? And what do you think is going to happen if Wizards can destroy any 3PPs or VTTs they want because of their new policies? Might be good for WotC, but it'll be to the detriment of anyone outside of them. [/QUOTE]
