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.

    Chuds are incapable of understanding how the profit motive and capitalist incentives ruin things, and so they are forced to create their own ridiculous reasons for things getting worse. This is how they end up thinking that Disney is woke and committing white genocide.

      And when they do recognize the profit incentives of capitalism are ruining their treats, instead of blaming capitalists/ownership class (AKA the bourgeois), they blame Jews, communists, and other rightwing boogeymen.
