Someone said DnD is a perfect example of this, except:

DnD 3e was better than 1e and 2e, and 4e came about because video game popularity was something WotC were trying to get in on, and 5e came about because Pathfinder 1e stole (took back?) like, half their fanbase.

The game getting worse over time (5e is terrible, FIGHT ME!) is literally because of profit seeking.

    Normal people:

    1. Have multiple hobbies, so they don’t suffer an existential crisis when one of their many hobbies starts sucking.

    2. Find another hobby because no one’s too old to reinvent or discover something new about themselves.

    3. Appreciate having another thing that they can use to socially connect other people with.

    Only socially and emotionally stunted manchildren care this much about preserving the alleged purity of their pointless hobbies.
