"the bots have been extremely successful in pushing our game towards extinction"

I strongly disagree. There is a recurring unwarranted bias of equating backgammon with the gambling aspect, as well as applying the popularity of the game in Northern America as a yardstick for the rest of the world, (and the the rest of the world will hopefully not become America's backyard).

I'd say backgammon is far from extinction, it is a game with a stable and healthy base of tens of (if not hundreds of) millions players worldwide (, possible including some of the closest variants in the count).
