Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 9444008" data-attributes="member: 2525">To be fair, this round of WOTC-bashing all started well before the rules for 5.24e came out. In fact it started before we had the first playtest, but after we knew a revised edition would come. People were composing extensive rants about WOTC money-grabbing, creating a "woke" new edition, the anger over Kyle Brinks comments being spun as the direction the new edition would take, how the new edition would be digitally oriented to foist microtransactions on players, etc.. And a lot of us were saying essentially "when a ton of reviews come in before the rules can be seen that cannot be considered valid criticism."I don't even know what movie your comment is relating to. But given current movie discussion trends, I bet it's the same tone as the complaints we were seeing here about 5.24e before it came out too. Replace the corporate name of the movie producer (I am going to guess Disney?) with Hasbro and the tactic is probably very similar. Which is to say, not all criticism should be considered valid criticism. In particular, if you're ranting about Pinkertons and the OGL in a thread about rules like whether you can move diagonally on a grid past a corner, it might be fair to say this is not valid criticism but is instead just more of a review bomb of something unrelated to having even seen it, based purely on hatred for the company behind it and their assumed motives.We're just asking for something to help reduce the amount of review-bombing of the latest Disney/WOTC product because it's from Disney/WOTC (and not because of the content of the product itself) in threads genuinely trying to discuss the actual product. Not get rid of threads which are about discussing Disney/WOTC.</blockquote>
