D&D is also easy to play without buying anythlng. I don't have time for it myself but I know some 20 somethings who play and they just look up stuff online for free D&D as a media franchise is also a weak concept, the fantasy genre is oversaturated. Unless they decide to make a big budget film based off of an official campaign without making it full of Marxist propaganda the only option is to milk it dry and move on.
