First and foremost: why the + ? Simply put, I don't want this thread to be about "no video game can replace TTRPGs." That's may be true. I might even agree. But arguing about it will just obscure the real question.
And that real question is: if a computer or video game were to replace your group's regular TTRPG game night, what game(s) would it be?
Would it be an MMORPG? Or a co-op CRPG? Would you shift to digital board games? Or co-op shooters and adventure games?
My own regular group has flirted with everything from BG3 to WoW to (digital) Gloomhaven, but in the end we always drift back to TTRPGs via a VTT.
I guess that brings up an additional question: with regards to this question, if there is a game that could replace TTRPGs for you, does that have anything to do, do you think, with you playing via a VTT or otherwise online (if you do)?
