    I want to thank you for asking this question, and also explain why for the, “just google it” crowd.

    I have believed for the last 10+ years that this meant combat-rpg. My ignorance would never have been fixed if someone hadn’t asked the question in a place like this; I never would have googled the answer to a question I didn’t have.

    How many more serious questions out there would benefit from more discussion, rather than individual research?

    Alright, take my soap box from me.

      I just searched “what is a crpg” and everything that came up said computer role playing game without even needing to click any links.

        Good job. I have never felt the need to Google that since I never had a reason to question what I thought it meant.

          I mean, you were complaining how you never knew what it meant, and something about the just Google it crowd.

          Shocker if you just googled it instead of ranting you could have saved everyone time.
