[QUOTE="Chalice, post: 5951210, member: 84115"] Our experiences differ. :) If you look at the mainstream popularity of some other kinds of games (e.g., casual web/phone games, console games, etc.) it strikes me that my own experiences, or observations rather, might be a little closer to the overall norm. Perhaps there are levels and levels of "non-gamer conformity". Something I [I]don't[/I] want to level up in, thanks! ;) Glancing at WotC's income streams, it's clear that D&D is very low on the list. And how big is WotC, as far as Hasbro goes in general? That's just one example, that I suppose might pass as "evidence", such as it is. And the sheer amount of money / number of players, for things like big console games. Compare to TTRPG sales... :( [/QUOTE]
