D&D is famously not more popular than ever and is one of the reasons why so many OSR's have exploded in popularity over the past 5-10 years.

It is both true that there has been an OSR revival, and that D&D is more popular than ever -- just with a much broader and culturally normative audience.

Also: Yes, Hasbro did some shit, but they also had to relent and CC their SRD. This all happened years ago.

I say this as a committed Pathfinder player who hasn't seen a good reason to return to D&D (PF2e is good enough). D&D is doing numbers and no one cares that us nerds moved on because of weak tea from the previous decade.

It's their house now, and it's fine.
