The only reason why you call it Commiefornia is due to the current governor and also the liberal hivemind that has infected the entertainment sector and yet Cali is one of the top states that makes large portions out of the whole USA's GDP.

The self-righteous ideologues seem to think they can dictate the content of my games and even decide if I'm allowed to play them based on my ethnicity. What they overlook is that computer gaming, whether on console or PC, is just one of my many hobbies. For instance, my call sign is KX4ND, and I operate two ham radios manufactured by Icom. I've also been playing chess by mail and email with friends worldwide since the 1970s. I'm an avid reader, typically finishing a book every two weeks. These are just a few of my interests, and if I were to stop gaming today, it would be a minor loss in the grand scheme of my hobbies. The critics might say, "Great! We don't need you!" but the reality is they do. Their employment depends on the gaming industry, which exists for one purpose: to make money. If I, and others like me, stop purchasing their agenda-driven games, their jobs will be at risk. They should seriously consider this when they insult the gaming community and fail to deliver the products we want. I am certain that I am not alone in this perspective.

OGL was a masterful strategy because it made the brand ubiquitous even in places where people were lifting concepts from the brand. Everyone still knew that it was derivative of the DnD brand and so it had the effect of bolstering DnD products through a free marketing pathway that other brands can only dream about. To get this kind of marketing through traditional means is extremely costly and tbh impossible for most brands.

The sad thing is... diversity by itself is not a bad thing. It never was. THE PROBLEM starts when, instead of creating actual and genuine diversity, you REPLACE one majority with another, and then call the first majority racists or misogynists when the former majority complain about not getting an equal representation, or when they complain that the writing on diverse story is just not good. I believe that good writing and diversity CAN exist in stories, but it needs to be done with good writing and likeable characters being the top priority. Plus, not every story, movie, tv show or game necessarily needs to have diverse characters, or JUST diverse characters. A good way to not make diversity feel forced or mundane is to SLOWLY incorporate it into games and entertainment (when it's written well), while also continue to make entertainment that dosen't have to include diversity.

Playing MTG allows one to build abstract and critical thinking skills, to an actually impressive degree. Growing up I have spent TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars (if not more) on MTG, collecting and playing for almost 20 years. Back then I would have said it was worth it too…..now I REFUSE to buy their products and support this UNNECESSARY path they have chosen and agenda they PUSH on others. WHAT A SHAME 😢😮💨🤦♂️🤷🏼♂️

The OGL leaks are even worse than what Endemyion went into. It also granted ownership of properties made by third parties and the rights to remove content that WotC deemed to be offensive with no guidelines on what is or is not offensive or problematic. It basically gave them the power to shut down anyone they didn’t like or had a different opinion.

This is why gamers never win. Some people with more sense try to warn you, don't buy the game once you even get a whiff of censorship. Do not even buy if they "cave" and give you what you want, don't buy any future games from them either, stop voting with your wallet guys, vote with your apathy so these companies go out of business shrieking in silence so everyone can pick up the ashes once the company is toast. NOPE! Gamers complain, but they still buy, then complain more that their hobby is being ruined by activists even though the gamers are the ones who keep giving them money to ruin their hobby. Gamers can only really "win" if they first acknowledge that a vast number in their ranks are addicts who will buy anything. Until then, the only winning strategy is to start saving as much of past gaming as possible because that is the only future gaming has.

Most players used the OGL for home brew. Oh, something you want isn't in the books, a creature or class just doesn't exist? You can make them yourself and publish the info on these things freely so other people can use it in their campaigns. This was one of the backbones of the D&D community and why it thrived for so long. THen they tried to flip the script and say that they won't let you do this anymore and retroactively try to argue that anything that was successful under this deal now owed Wizards a cut. It was, obviously, a disaster. Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic games actually have their class system and feats almost directly ripped from how it works numerically from the addition of D&D that was current when the games were made.

I've got a skipping stone, that I glued arms and legs on, that I still use as a King Crab. When it comes to Table Top games, be them RPG, Wargame or anything else, the books are guidelines, not rules. Pick, choose and modify them however your like when playing with your friends. These companies only own the IP. Your time playing and how you do so, outside of their pandering events, is out of their control and they get no say in it.

What’s funny is I would guess at least half of WotC and DnDs target demographic is likely made up of white men… (the general consensus is the average age range for people who play DnD is between the ages of 20-24, that player base is about 60% male and just as a crap shoot I’d say probably 50% of those men are white if I had to guess) regardless of what the number actually is if the DnD fandom actually listened I would think WotC and in turn Hasbro would probably take a massive financial hit, assuming of course the main fandom is still buying WotC merchandise
