[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7472212, member: 15700"] I'm not saying that twitch isn't big. But you have yet to show any convincing argument that players today care more about story. Watching a livestream, or ease of access to that information, doesn't prove it unless you can show that watching a D&D session in person is LESS about story, and good luck with that. Bringing up crosstalk in no way means that gamers cared more about the mechanics of the game than story. And yes, I'm aware of fantasy movies in the 2000s. I didn't say there weren't. But in the early 80s, there was a huge resurgence in the number of fantasy movies/media that came out. It was all over the place. And for every reference to Amazon you make, I can come back and say that D&D books and boxed sets were in every mainstream store, like Krogers/Fred Meyer, and Toys 'r us. There was a saturday morning cartoon. So yes, streaming has helped grow the game, but there is no evidence that because of streaming, new gamers care more about story than older gamers did. You're just guessing. [/QUOTE]
