Yea, I never did anywhere else either. Here has been the first place, and for the longest time I didn't use it here. Almost seems like it's mandatory here now. Though that's probably less about 'here' and more about 2026 internet. Everything is soo socially and politically charged these...

I often wonder if Don Quixote tilted at more Sealions or Wind Mills.

The thread title would be more accurate if it was “Everybody on the internet is wrong”

The Swiss already did that for us all.

Yea, I'm not saying they are a good investment. I have no idea. But I know analyzing any big tech business while it's still in growth and market domination phase is much different than analyzing most any other type of company. It's always astronomical debt and chasing user counts and then one...

I think there's some new stuff here, so I'm going to go ahead and reply. I think the disagreement comes down to treating “profitability” as if it’s a single concept. In Finance it isn't. Finance uses multiple profitability lenses because each one answers a different question. GAAP...

Sure, what part feels unclear to you?

Some of this is really hard to read on the dark theme.

Anyways, I’ve stated the important bits pretty clearly, unless some new content (not just repetition of position) comes up I’m going to bow out.

No, he is claiming their Contribution Margin P&L is profitable. This is not misleading in the least. It’s a different financial view and consideration. He never claimed that under GAAP that he was profitable, in fact just the opposite.

If I had to guess 6e has D&D shift to be more live service. 4e failed at this, 5e is having increasing success with D&D Beyond. 6e will have them pushing hard in that direction again as the potential profitability is too promising to the suits. I expect the lesson learned of tailoring the...

No one is claiming a GAAP based P&L shouldn't include investment costs - that's absolutely correct for measuring total profitability. It's just not all P&L (profit and loss) statements are GAAP accounting views, and in tech there are good reasons to use additional profitability lenses. In...

It's like opening a single MTG pack, sometimes you get the $100 dollar legendary sometimes you get the $2.00 one.

But "when you're on this person's website, it's like you're a guest in their bedroom" doesn't have the same ring.

This is cool. I like the idea high level, but I can see some problems depending on specific implementation and or sheer volume of possible rules variations they can pick and choose from. For a really systems driven player like myself, i'm not sure I like the vague xp rules or other players...

Small piece of additional advice. Some of these people may be future customers. Don't alienate them this early in the game. But I sure understand the desire. Edit: also, i was suggesting that the structural nature incentives inherent in forums probably won't yield a high success rate for...

@1QD I'm curious, on a very high conceptual level can you tell us about your game without going into specific mechanics or other things you aren't ready to share?

So addictive... Just a sec, a need another hit. But honestly, chat gpt or similar would probably be a good initial source to see what similar mechanics are actually out there. It would also probably give better marketing advice than random internet dude, of course probably not as good as a...

Which of his premises do you actually disagree with?

My advice. Unless you want heavy criticism about seemingly minor issues found in the product and almost no actual verbal praise or constructive criticism, then you are going to want to avoid forums as your primary source of interaction. Maybe an official one curated specifically toward your...
