I dunno, go look at the top selling games of 2022. Largely old games/franchises, many over 20 years old. I'd argue video gaming is pretty stale because game companies play it safe and mostly recycle old games. Bless Elden Ring, one of the only big new games that wasn't a sequel last year.

Madden - 34 years old

Pokemon - 26 years old

FIFA - 29 years old

Mario Kart - 30 years old

Call of Duty 20 years old this year! (23 if you count back to Medal of Honor)

God of War - 17 years old

Gran Turismo - 26 years old

Fan of the series and general “infinity engine” era, but was somewhat “worried” it would be less fun than Larian’s last great game (Divinity Original Sin 2).

I was glad to learn it’s likely as silly (good!) and enjoyed dipping into twitch to get a feel on the pen & paper turned "cyber" D&D party play.

It really looks like great fun, wish I had the time / friends in sync / on same platform. Eventually the bespoke Apple silicon version should work cross play with Windows / Linux but console friends apparently won’t get included.

> DnD has a lot of brand power and has been strongly in the zeitgeist for years.

I'd say you're understating this and it is actually strengthening a lot.

For example google trends shows "dnd" taking off:

It is actively trendy right now.

Take a look at Ghost of Tsushima (PlayStation only sadly) - especially the fields of grass, absolutely breathtaking.

Also Unreal Engine 5 is to me at the leading edge of graphics engines right now: https://youtu.be/-lkEOEEKYD0
