It makes about as much sense to cheer on the perpetual dominance of D&D in the RPG industry as it would to cheer on one restaurant chain taking over the entire restaurant industry.

Unpopular Opinion: You guys are all playing the game wrong, and it's actively harming tabletop gaming as a whole, and only I can tell you the correct way to play.

This one cannot be unpopular, its too common! This was thrown around just yesterday.

My relationship to D&D is the same as my relationship to fast food: I know its dominance is bad for me and the wider world/industry and that I can find so many better options, but it's just good enough and too convenient to abandon it.

"Restaurant industry"? I don't understand. Since the Franchise Wars, all restaurants are Taco Bell...

"Do I make something healthy, and clean up, or do I go get a slice of pizza." Me, yesterday.

Convenient, yes. Good, not really. Like fast food vs cooking at home, it’s better for you and cheaper to DIY than go with the corporate product.

That I can tell, Kimberly-Clark hasn't lost that trademark yet. Same with Xerox, Lycra, and Rollerblades (trademarks owned by different companies). Bayer losing Aspirin is the classic case, of course.
