How can you still not understand this? WotC would not be releasing this product unless they have data that shows that Critical Roles viewers are not 'potential customers', but actual customers, who are already paying to play the game, including through buying rulebooks and APs.
Why not? There is one of you and 7.7 billion people who are not-you.
Which can be said of every other person as well. Not a good argument on your part.
Every business ever who overextended themselves said the same thing...
On that, I agree with you... A more accurate version of that would be All D&D Players > You.
The more accurate statement is every individual D&D player ~= me.On that, I agree with you... A more accurate version of that would be All D&D Players > You.
Well yes, but I suspect that there are fewer D&D players who share your preferences than D&D players who enjoy Critical Role, who WotC has almost certainly compiled statistical data on.
Again, I'd argue the statistical data is only as good as the honesty of the survey responses where people may say one thing but end up actually doing another.
How has WotC overextended themselves? They've produced books you don't like, but those books have sold like hotcakes, and in between those books they've released other books to support existing settings, and those books have also sold like hotcakes. If you think that existing players are going to sell all their books and walk away from D&D because they are upset with the release schedule I think you'd need to maybe provide some evidence that that is the case.
What do you mean by this? Are you saying that most respondents who watched Critical Role are not actually going to purchase D&D products?
