Boardgame alternatives to the Cargo Cult have also been around for decades and were also a better option.
Same thing: play when I want, how I want, for as long as I want with no ongoing commitments. No bullshit rules fuckery.
This isn't as good a value proposition as the Vidya comparison, but it is still far superior for fulfilling the Cargo Cult Game paradigm of play than what they insist Tabletop has to be about.
Oh, and it's cheaper overall because edition changes are few (if ever) and definitely far between. I can also include Talisman, Advanced Heroquest, Runequest and a lot more than that- and if Sword World does well enough in translation there may be PDFs made available of those Japanese boardgame counterparts also.
Tabletop is not boardgaming or cardgaming. It is not Vidya. It is something separate, distinct, and apart from all of them- which means it is not as the Cargo Cult insists it is either.
It's Braunstein, and that demands something very different- and very human.
