(Found this on twitter)
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.
My least favorite part about DnD is that when they released 5e they went to everybody’s houses and burned all the copies of earlier editions so nobody can play those anymore
Wouldn’t put thst past WotC lol
sending the pinkertons to wreck your stuff so you have to buy shitty new stuff
They had to burn a lot of 3e splatbooks - it was like the library of alexandria 😔
A distastefully horny library of Alexandria
