Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ace" data-source="post: 7664968" data-attributes="member: 944">Evil Hat actually used its presence in the gaming industry to censor a product. Warning here <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2onx9x/tabletop_rpg_drivethrurpgs_removes_gamergate_card/" target="_blank">this</a> is the Kotaku subreddit . I have a big problem with  censorship and bullying and Evil Hat in this case acted in that fashion.  No humor, no tolerance of divergent opinions  is nothing to be proud ofNow  Evil Hat, they do  make  good games and I don't feel bad about sending them a little  accidental business. In fact  I've played FATE more than a little before . It was fun and free and legal to download. You'll like it. I know I did.  had they not acted as they did, I'd be pushing Dresden files for the group The thing is  I do no business with bullies or censors or narrow minded people . The principle of market choice and free speech is more important than they Evil  Hat and bigger than all of us. Its the hobby's prime directive and should not be violated.   As such I cannot in good conscience play or run  anything Evil Hat  makes . However I won't fault you for doing it and as its your space feel free to play and enjoy their games many of which are high quality  and this won't effect someone who wants to game with me which is I think the difference here. You can play  anything in your space and I won't care so long as it doesn't spill over, The personal  must not be political , there is too much of that already. There are too few of us to support infighting and we geeks need to hang together or our hobby will suffer. As for what Pramas did, I have no issue at all. The only reason they aren't selling me any Blue Rose this time out is I already have it all and don't want  any AGE games. Come back with new True 20 or Original System stuff and l OTOH and I'll be there, Also your statement here  Its not about you, really its not. Instead this looks like classic  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entryism" target="_blank">Entryism</a> and even though I am sympathetic to your feelings on that matter, I simply have to not care, Go play with some other group if you aren't happy and leave the groups who dislike you to their own affairs. I hope that's clear .After all that understand you and I have more in common gaming  wise than you think   I personally enjoy  interesting and inclusive games and a diverse gaming hobby is generally a good thing  but  keeping that means everyone minds their own business and allows people without rancor or interference to find the games they want . Inclusiveness means intolerant or narrow voices also have value and this hobby benefits   from Carcosa,  Blue Rose and MYFAROG alike. Anything that appears to lay the ground work for a threat to that like entryism needs to be quashed.</blockquote>
