There are too many game companies focused at present on easily understood and duplicated models and too few championing an opposite course. Risk averse trajectories keep one at a competitive disadvantage. When we founded the RPG industry through D&D TSR had no competitors and thus established a non-competitive market advantage--a Garden-of-Eden-state with never before seen design modelling and implementation. Risk Factor: 100%; and comparable to past historical leaps, such as the combustion engine, etc. and to what @elonmusk has envisioned into being through his applied genius. In D&D's instance it literally threw out 2,000 years of game history and theory and broke the longstanding, entrenched market-to-consumer model and with it the game companies who had effortlessly maintained it. Since then, and as I've gauged the game market through my multi-disciplinary experiences in sales, marketing, design, RPG history and systems thinking, no G-o-E-states in RPG game design have emerged since D&D's advent--there have been lateral system shifts, but no defining system leap as originally orchestrated by Arneson in 1971 (c.f. Dave Arneson's True Genius, 2016 TLS; The Fourth Category, TLS 2024) and thereafter iteratively forwarded intact by Gygax & Arneson as (Original) D&D. 1974. The spin cycle of the past 40+ years is going to change very soon; and I am championing that change by approaching AAA game companies about my applied systems knowledge which will lead that change. #AI @XBOX @elonmusk @EpicPublishing @paramountgames #gamedev #gamedevelopment

They actually let me talk which is a dangerous thing...🤠😂

Tune in for some lively adventure!
