There are others who opt to stay with every edition when there's a change over. You still belong to the group who played that edition. You still belong to the group who keeps playing that edition, if you keep playing that edition. Your definition of culture has to be minuscule for you to no longer be a part of the culture. There's the broad nerd and geek culture, the smaller RPG subculture, the smaller tabletop RPG sub-subculture, and the smaller still D&D sub-sub-subculture. Then there's sub-sub-sub-subculture of which edition you play. So even if you still with a non-current edition, you're still part of a lot of cultures and subcultures. You're just not part of the current edition of D&D sub-sub-sub-subculture.Things change regardless of how we feel about them. Change is. It’s not bittersweet.I don’t view being with the majority as anything to feel proud of in most cases.Your relevance is not tied to which edition of a particular brand of elfgame you play. Your sense of belonging shouldn’t be tied to which brand if elfgame you play. No matter how much WotC pushes the nonsense, D&D is not a lifestyle brand. It’s a game.All you have left is nostalgia? What a bizarre take. Either I play the new shiny or I’m irrelevant? Nonsense. That’s pure fear of missing out.It‘s obviously nonsense.</blockquote>
