People still play D&D, just not a lot of young people do. If you didn't know the popular show Community has had not one, but two episodes with the plot about the characters playing the game.

That being said, your reasoning is valid, though I wonder how far they will take needing additional peripherals for playing this game (i.e. coins and/or dice). There will also likely be a mechanic based upon getting bonuses for destroying monsters, just like how in RPGs, one would receive experience, money, and items after battles.
