They soon become echo chambers due to the investments of time and money made in them. The OSR needs to toot their own foghorns just as the other islands do because of that.Rob Kuntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648200357715492214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-44350981417539016272017-07-27T23:27:43.898-04:002017-07-27T23:27:43.898-04:00And anyway, the OSR is all about the old school. ...And anyway, the OSR is all about the old school.

Games that are good (not just intrinsically, but extrinsically, as in, well-supported as well as well-written and well-designed) will succeed, those that are not so good will fade. Saturation in an open market deals with itself automatically.<br />Chris Gonnermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491320279165054124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-45445579409553834012017-07-27T18:25:25.932-04:002017-07-27T18:25:25.932-04:00Along with many, many others.
