The Election That Prevented Wategate
Fantasy roleplaying games (RPG) became much more popular in the 1980s and were not demonized by certain groups. This leads to some interesting changes. The animated kid's show Dungeons & Dragons are not about a bunch of kids trapped in a fantasy world searching for a way home but about their D&D campaign. Mazes & Monsters (which in OTL was against RPGs) tells the story how roleplaying games saved a boy's life. But that's not all. One of the most popular daily shows on TV is a show which is the recording of a weekly RPG campaign. Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) is also very popular and some LARP events are regularly shown on TV. This also means that several RPG publishers (TSR, WEG, FASA, ICE) did not vanish but are still very successfull. And there are much more fantasy or science fiction movies or TV shows (and most of them are based on RPGs). But MMORPGs are virtually unknown in the US.
