(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.

    This is an incel meme.

    Also if the “originals” were happy with the game before they can just keep playing it that way with each other. The thing that tends to prevent that is a lack of control over the game itself, as it is a privately owned game trying to make money, not entertain you just 'cuz. And in that sense, the “originals” are misplacing their frustrations at not having the control to even just play their game with each other and putting the blame on others who are “playing it wrong”. The people forcing you to play with “casuals” or not at all are capitalists, not “females”.
