Now D&D's 2024 rules revamp is almost finished, I've been visited by the ghosts of TTRPG past, present, and future to help me predict the next 5-10 years

While I wouldn't underestimate Hasbro's ability to blow everything up trying to make the line go up, I do think D&D just shambling on for another decade is likely. It's just so entrenched among so many players. Sure, every new scandal is going to have some group swearing it off and going back to old editions or looking at different games, but the majority will just keep playing.
