I feel if you take the monolithic juggernaut of D&D out of the industry, we'll be buying rpgs basically on Etsy.Hm.
This is an interesting thought, insofar as, if you take out the business of D&D, you probably wouldn't call the rest of it an "industry". It is then one or two small businesses, and a bunch of "cottage industry".
It boggles my mind, because I feel if D&D were to bite it now and WotC vanish, who's going to pick up the infrastructure and continue things on the level of Gencon - $75M economic impact on a city is a LOT of jobs not related to pdfs and dice (Gen Con breaks attendance record, extends Indy contract through 2030)
