That's even as popular as D&D is right now.They haven't heard of any of the discussions we've been having, and they are most likely only thinking about this because of what Elon said. They have no idea how much the gaming industry has changed since 5E launched, or even since the game was last popular in the 80s.So they are going to come to the situation with old information, and talking to the older people who are still around. And they're getting a crash course in changes to the game in the last 5+ years. It's just that simple.I work in tech. Every once and a while I see an article about something I work with every day. It's truly exceptional in a non tech source for the author to get virtually anything correct. I remember my father, as an economist, having to explain even the most basic ideas to reporters, only for them to get things wrong. That was back in the 80s and 90s.So this discussion may be old news to us, and the people they're talking with may be the old guard but ... that's how the press just is. It isn't some slight against D&D in particular.</blockquote>
