[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9031203, member: 7024481"] LMAO. At least 40 to 50% (IMO) of people downloading those games are planning to play them, and even if it's onlyt 10 percent the number is HUUUGE, as I said if even 1% of them do play them it move the needle on DND players quite a bit. Not necessarily those who play 5e but the original post was how many of which age group play dnd......not one particular flavor of it. So because you can't quantify it you ignore it. thanks for making my point that hasbro has stuck thier head in the sand and is only paying attention to the things they decide to see. I suspect old flavors of DND have more players than 5e combined which is he key point Hasbro would like to bury. As i said in another post. i think if hasbro treated DND like all it's other games with the exception of selling it on DND Beyond as a 10 to 15 dollar a month sub for access to all the books, then they could offer a 5 dollar add on for access to the old editions and sell dice and all the other glittery shiny things the whales want and they'd make far more than selling books. Books are sadly a very low profit item. Internet subs are a very High profit item. The key thing with this idea is then their old players wouldn't be competition and any old players that were just refusing to move on because of cost would have the new stuff right there ready to try as an extra for all the old stuff they were paying for. Then treat it like monopoly. Just let it sit there and make money and slowly add to it or even just buy up 3rd party stuff and rebrand. [/QUOTE]
