[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 7714515, member: 63245"] Eh, I dont know. Everyone seems to point at some sort of golden RPG which defines some kind of money vs complexity that would be ideal, and its not that simple. If you define an RPG's success by money, then you get complexity, if you define it by people wanting simplicity then you get more people introduced to the genre. There are tons of other lenses to look at the industry and there simply isn't a right answer. There exists different types of RPGs for different people who have different amounts of money for the game, time to learn the game, etc. And even the game with the biggest player base, doesn't mean the game is making money, and vice versa. Some people love obscure games and they shouldn't be left out because they aren't in the majority. I view the RPG industry at least tabletop wise as a place where a homebrew setting can thrive right next to an industrialized powerhouse where honestly both can provide similar levels of enjoyment. Money, complexity and popularity are simply one of a near infinite amount of viewpoints to take. [/QUOTE]
