Niches, Blockbusters, and the RPG market
There was an interesting article in the Economist a couple of weeks back discussing the effects of small-scale productions/publications in various markets which has interesting implications for the RPG industry. Across these markets, they've seen that while overall sales have stayed more or less con...
