IDPA, ICORE, 3Gun, Steel Challenge were all created due to perceived failings of IPSC

Yes, but since then, we have had IDSA, TSA, PASS, GADPA, and now ASI to address the perceived failings of IDPA.
GADPA seems to be doing OK on a regional basis and ASI is too new to tell, but the others have sunk without a trace.
We had CSA (a forced acronym, the MD's other game is Civil War reenactment) that was starting out good, but its home range has closed and there is no other convenient venue.
I have shot a couple of other local outlaw matches that were worth the ammo, but I do not see them spreading. This is what I call the Balkanization of the sport.
I do not foresee anybody throwing the time and money into a middle of the road game and getting the publicity hat Bill W. did with IDPA.
There is just not enough difference to split, for one thing.
