[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9627805, member: 22779"] The plural of anecdote is not data. That's great for you I guess? That you know people who play both board games and computer games? And, again, I didn't insist on 0% overlap. That's you being overly pedantic. My point was that there is ZERO evidence that computer games pull in new TTRPG players. Just like Mario Kart doesn't pull in new race car drivers. I know it might be hard to believe, but playing BG3 on a computer and sitting down with four or five other players to play a TTRPG are not really related. Like, at all. Why is it basic and obvious? Prepainted specific minis? Our beginner box is now going to cost over 30 bucks? As opposed to the under 20 that it is now? And your presumption is that the increased price will be worth it because they will sell so many more copies of something just because you want it? I'm really not seeing the big push here. What I am seeing is a bunch of people who want something, and figure that because it's what they want, then everyone else must want it too. [/QUOTE]
