The Culture: The Future The #BROSR Is Forking Away From

This is what we're facing in this hobby.

Compelled Consumption.

Compelled by weaponized psychology inducing strong Fear Of Missing Out by making those who do fork over their cash more powerful than those that do not, and thus by way of social pressure getting players to either pay up or get out.

Compelled by centralizing content to a single walled garden, where players own nothing but a Proof Of Subscription an a future expiration date, and those that don't pay up find their ability to play Current Edition destroyed for lack of acccess to every single tool required to play.

You are to be reduced to paypigs simping for an OnlyFans whore in return for the illusion of acknowledgement. Even Death Cultists object to this, as the entire incident over the Open Gaming License showed.

But they don't have a counter-argument. The #BROSR does.

There is no need for hobbyists to ever spend more than what is necessary for a physical copy of the rules of the game. Not even the OSR goes that far, as too many of them are just as ensorcelled by Consume Product as the Current Edition Cult.

This is what I am consistent about: a game must be whole and complete to be fit for purpose upon release with no supplementary material necessary. Far too few games in the hobby fail this basic qualification.

The pressure to go this route will only build as Magic-Users By The Water continue to be unto the rest of the RPG business like SJWs are to Liberals and dominate them due to being the end of their entire paradigm of being.

You have to change the frame to change the game- something every competent wargamer and campaigner knows as muscle memory.

Soon you'll see the #BROSR forcing this dynamic in places you had not expected and lead the hobby to a better tomorrow by reverting to a superior past first, and then to take the road not travelled to a better tomorrow..
