I know, you love to defend and promote a capitalist take, but it's the easy path to zzz for me.
Businesses who do not make things that are popular very quickly make nothing at all. Do not think that you would get what you want if capitalism went away. The universe owes you nothing.
No, the point of this thread is it isn't aimed exclusively at children. It quite clearly isn't aimed at everyone, nor should it be. That would be nonsensical.
Yes yes, bow to our capitalist overlords, thank them for providing the goods we need to distract from the fact the universe owes us nothing.
Damn. And here I was getting excited to play D&D Friday!Yes yes, bow to our capitalist overlords, thank them for providing the goods we need to distract from the fact the universe owes us nothing.
Capitalism isn't some abstract evil overlords. It's people. Ordinary people trying to make a living. Capitalism is "I do something for you and you do something for me in return". Even if people wanted to make you free games and expect nothing in return your supply of free stuff would soon dry up when they starved to death.Yes yes, bow to our capitalist overlords, thank them for providing the goods we need to distract from the fact the universe owes us nothing.
Hey, don't blame Wizards for playing by the rules of the system. They didn't invent capitalism, but they still have to follow the rules. Just like the rest of us. You participate in capitalism. The fact that WotC has to pursue what is popular over what you would enjoy because it wouldn't be monetarily viable to make under capitalism isn't WotC's fault. It's capitalism's.Yes yes, bow to our capitalist overlords, thank them for providing the goods we need to distract from the fact the universe owes us nothing.
Wizards is aiming at everyoneI know, you love to defend and promote a capitalist take, but it's the easy path to zzz for me.
If Wizard's isnt aiming for me (and no, I do not believe they are) then fine, that is the point of this thread. 'Who its aimed at.'
The answer isnt 'everyone'. Clear. Concise. Perfect.
Its pop radio. Sure, I can get behind that take.
WotC cannot aim for everyone. For example, they cannot aim for racists, since people who oppose racism would stop buying their products. Certain groups are mutually exclusive.
Agree to disagree. But feel free to @ me when we get Conan-esque sword and sorcery again and tell me I was wrong, or when Planescape hits and its all about Alignment, Planes, and petty debates between Gods.
When did we ever have Conan-esque S&S D&D? Wizards, clerics, elves , and dwarves have all been right there front and center from the beginning.Agree to disagree.
