isn't crpg a weird term? like it generally denotes "not a-jrpg"... but computer rpg equally applies to jrpgs? and to a lot of other things peple don't consider crpgs.
CRPG was originally created as a term to separate them from the table top RPGs they were based on, not to distinguish them from JRPGs (which honestly share a lot of the same heritage).

not directed at OP i just think it's weird

i think people tried "wrpg" (the w being western) for a bit, but it didn't really catch on
W takes too long to pronounce. Retvrn to Ƿ
It describes typically western rpgs that weren't designed for home video game consoles before they became custom computers.
