[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9147483, member: 6801845"] Products that are not liked are widely used [I]when people have no realistic alternative[/I]. Until streaming and the advent of wireless broadband I had to put up with whatever cable monopoly was offered where I live. But there are, and have been, many competitors to D&D over the years. Does that make D&D "good"? It's worked for the few dozen people I've played with over the course of the edition. We had fun playing the game so it was good enough for us. Are there also other good TTRPGs out there? Are there other games that are better, that given an opportunity would be just as successful if not more so? Of course, it's not a zero sum game. Is D&D good for every single individual? Heck no! Saying a product isn't for everyone is far, far different from saying that the game is mediocre dreck and that people just don't know better or because there's an anti-competitive environment.
