I guess what I'm saying is, who is gonna be on the ohter side of that equation?
I'm not saying the current industry is cool, you'll have to look for the RPGPundit for that.
I'm saying that I'm not convinced there's a critical mass of newcomers to the hobby, and that would be helped by an honest to gosh, well designed, breakthrough game.*
If the twisted industry such as it is dies out, our chances of seeing that are reduced.
I'm not being bleak - I'm trying point out some potential reasons why we might light more speed in our development cycle, not saying they are destined to happen.
Cheers,
Jason

*I so want to be able to walk into my local Wal-Mart and see a shelf devoted to games like Dogs, Sorcerer, MLWM, Dust Devils. That'd be cool, is all I'm sayin'.
