The Culture: Would You Rather Actually Play Or Have To Schedule Fun Like A Job?

The Soup Aisle refuses to admit that their cult non-game is better done by competing media.

I would much rather play their style of Tabletop using those competing media. Why?

1. I am getting what I paid for, and I don't need to deal in Endless Product Slop to get the full game. Expansions actually optional.
2. I don't have to worry about Theater Kid bullshit and their Calvinball wankery. The rules are the rules, so fuck you for not obeying them.
3. I don't have to explain shit; the game actually tells people what to do and how to do it.
4. It's not a job; I don't have to Schedule My Fun or be held captive to the least committed party.

"What competing media?"

This. Solo or with others, I am better off doing this than whatever they're doing in their basement cult cells.

And there's more where that comes from- even Offical Game has one (Dungeon!) and has since the 1980s.

This is what sells better than the Current Edition of The Only Game That Matters, not any indiecrap or Wack Hack slop or Grognard Delulu Porn. This is what the target audience for Wizards of the Coasts actually wants, AS SHOWN BY REVEALED PREFERNCE FOR 50 YEARS! Their C-Suite has the data to back it up, which is why they are changing Official Game to be more like what the Normies want, especially the younger generations that are AOK with microtransactions and Pay To Win.

What the Soup Aisle offers is Temu Version Gaming to them, which is why they lose so many prospects to Current Edition and its Walled Garden. The Clubhouse is now scooping up the rest because what we offer is something that's actually different, yet respects their time just as well as WOTC does. The Soup Aisle, being made up of estrogenic resentful fags, does not and never has.

This is why they are being crushed, and deserve to be crushed, by the twin forces squeezing them out of the hobby.
