The Business: MMOs Are Digital Tabletop Counterparts Confirmed

MMOs keep aping Tabletop dynamics.

Turns out that there is now a sufficient amount of acumen and tools available for MMOs to be cloned with an ease analogous to Tabletop.

That means that the comparison of Network Effects is also easy to do, which means that indeed you can see that World of Warcraft is the D&D of MMOs because WOW alone has so many private servers (this scene's retroclones) that it dwarves the rest. Furthermore, it is again the case that it is these servers that keep Cult Classic games alive because the original publisher is either unwilling or unable to do it themselves.

I look foward to seeing the MMO version of the #BROSR.
