[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7781713, member: 22779"] But, you said it yourself. Things like Twitch streams and whatnot DO build communities. Very, very large communities by the looks of it. Or places like En World where you have very large communities to rely on. Heck, I don&t even know what Tabletop Day is. I haven't set foot in an actual gaming store in decades. Building players? Well, I put on online add on and poof, instant group. I've almost never actually played in an FLGS. Yet, I've never had any problems meeting gamers or getting a group together, across two continents and multiple countries. Now, gaming 4 nights a week? Sure, ok, I can see why you would be pretty invested in an FLGS. But, frankly, there simply isn't enough of you to keep the business model alive. Again, I'm not trying to be a douche here. I'm really not. I hope that the FLGS is around forever. But, brick and mortar retail businesses are ALL hurting. It's not like this is a special thing for the FLGS. And, I'm not really sure that the FLGS offers enough to keep it alive. I hope that it does. Must be nice. I never had a "game hub". Maybe other folks are right. It's a regional thing. [/QUOTE]
