I disagree. Glorantha has extended beyond the limit of a game to become what it initially was: a collection of stories which make up a world; at least this is what I read about Greg telling the "birth" of Glorantha.
That it has become a gaming ground with Runequest and Heroquest is almost secondary. Glorantha is full of mature and phylosophical concepts and gaming there is like doing an experience in physics. But all the theory can't always be applied in the practice.

For me to know the secret is not just another piece of information but enable to understand why and how things are in this fantasy world.
