[QUOTE="Corinth, post: 1564478, member: 497"] Your way would drastically shrink the size of the hobby community because the people that would want to get into your brand of hobby already have far more viable and established outlets. The writers have a score of different publishing channels while the actors have the theater and cinema- and the directors have their niche through that part of the culture. There is no way that you'd get nearly enough of those folks to come into the hobby to replace the gamers that you'd drive away if you got your way. This is fiscal and subcultural suicide, and most of us--be we just common gamers or someone more involved in the hobby (publishers, retailers, etc.)--recognize that to be true. The gamers always were, are now and ever shall they be where it's it. No, we already have that greater audience. Your way would replace that greater audience with a far lesser one. The theater is that way, and your histronics are far more suited to that subculture than this one. No, you're looking for a reason to justify why you can't get any lasting satisfaction with the gaming hobby when the answer is in the mirror- you. If you don't like what you see, then get lost and go do something that fits your wants better. [/QUOTE]
