>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>97266372>What is this business strategy called?Perpetually hating your player/consumerbase
>>97266372>game made by guy who really hates religious people >community is 50/50 literal copies of him and religious people who didn't catch the bitThis is a fascinating dichotomy I am excited to see develop further as the game picks up traction desu.
They have a legal obligation to defend their intellectual property. It's called being a business, and not a charity.
>>97266372Hype vs execution in the age of social media saturation. No one will ever be able to make the angry nerds happy, the goal is to get enough mass that the fanboys and parasites outweigh the detractors. TC has another problem of it being accidental success and now they have no idea what they're doing so its throw shit at the wall and see what happens.
>>97266372QRD for people who don't constantly follow internet drama?
>>97266416It's just the alt-right trying to manufacture a controversy where none exists. Nothing is happening.
>>97266416They went from supporting 3D printing to even offering stl's of their stuff to doing a full 180 and removing future stl's and using legal means to stop fans from making their own stuff.
>>97266372>*looks at warhammer 40k which is woke reddit atheist edgelord incarnate*>hmmmm, this needs to be even woker, edgier, anti-theist, and reddit-adjacent! that'll be a hit!Couple that with the clockwork hypocrisy of "GW bad cuz capitalistic greed" followed by them being extremely greedy themselves. >>97266431
>>97266372>What is this business strategy called?It's called "Letting retards run your community server into the ground."
>>97266372Whaling. They let the little fish go in favour of the whales.
>>97266372Gatekeeping.
>>97266372>shitting on chuds = killing your own communityDelusional
>>97266425t. Still mad about STL rugpull and sydney incident video
It takes effort to make a game and setting worse than warhammer but stench crusaids delivers.
>>97266477Then explain the STL thing. Is that "shitting on chuds" too?
>>97266416They’ve started issuing copyright strikes for previously accepted 3rd party minis since they’ve released their new official plastics.
>>97266528Lmao. DitchJihad got ZUTT'D
>In our setting there are two sides: literal demons from hell who want to enslave, rape, and torment humanity for all of time and the Roman Catholic church. So it's pretty morally nuanced with no real good guys!Why are TC devs like this?
>>97266581I think they missed that the reason chaos works in 40k is that it's directly caused by humanities actions(fantasy doesn't have this as much since chaos is an invading force there) which leads to the actual nuance of the situation. And even with that people still will say the Imperium is justified. So they essentially created a situation where humanity is not directly fueling the demons by trying to survive like in 40k while keeping the demons being well demons. And it turns out many will actually take the stance that when that when faced with extinction, every alternative is preferable.
>>97266477"Chuds" are normal people so yeah, why wouldn't it be? It's you people who are the freaks no matter how much you try to gaslight yourselves otherwise.
>>97266638Chuds aren't normal lmao, stop glazing yourself.
>>97266581Because you misunderstood the point, as you only know the shitpost.The actual point is that humanity is slowly becoming monstrous and actively transgressing against Scripture to fight against the forces of Hell. They are not 'good' people by our morality, but taking whatever measures needed to win.This shitpost is old and tiresome already.
I just fucking hate grimslop, man
>>97266444>Templars exist before the first crusade>never explain why>have a melt down when people wonder if it was an honest mistake or there was a plan for Templars being a thing before the first crusadeI do not expect people to know about the crusade and just go with the vibes because they are cool and I assume people will fuck up details like that.But going full retarded about not knowing history?I mean GW suffer from this too, specially when they try to explain shit and give too much details and it starts to show little they know about how conflicts and wars work.On a side note it kind of bugs me that TC wants to have their cake and eat it too. They want to use Christian image, themes, names, etc but refuse to the minimal research regarding it. Like for example Evangelion it uses the imagery and names, but it never tries to be christian or jewish thing same with 40k with for example Sisters of Battle that are cleary Catholic inspired.
>>97266444>*looks at warhammer 40k which is woke reddit atheist edgelord incarnate*you need a break from the fucking internet, man
>>97266638>chuds>normalAnd the hits.Keep.On. Coming!
>>97266502Storm in a glass "controversy"
>>97266702>They are not 'good' people by our morality, but taking whatever measures needed to win.I think the mistake is thinking that doesn't make them "good" by our morality. Is it wrong to use any means necessary if the alternative is a fate worse than death? Like they aren't fighting to just win, losing means hell itself controls earth and damns all of humanity to it. I'd wager anyone outside of actual misanthropes would consider any actions to prevent that as good if they were in that situation.
>>97266772>that’s not trueMaybe you should tell the electors that teehee
>>97266769My options are:>use the catapult baby>become a rape slave and condemn humanity to suffer till the end of timeJeez anon you sure are evil for using the catapult baby! You are clearly as evil as the slaver rapist!
>>97266372>What is this business strategy called?A bad one.Don't forget that TC was advertised as being a Wargaming IP where the lads behind it would not resemble GW's bullshit. It wasn't literally in words, but it was communicated either way.Then the STL problems and then releasing an overpriced plastic kit for a small amount of models like GW. It aint a rugpull. It is more like a grift at this point in milking the IP.A real Animal Farm scenario where things are slowly changing for the worse and coming to resemble the big bad (in this case GW) and the sheep keep bleating the same phrases:>Poor>Arch fan (he is the eternally rent free tyrant of all TC fanboy heads)>troll and variants of troll>chud>shill>Warhammer shillI legitimately hate that I'm saying this because I backed the kickstarter for the rulebook that still hasn't arrived.But on the bright side there are miniature agnostic games out there like Planet28, and Xenos Rampant being my favorites. So if you did buy into the grift maybe there is hope where your minis can still be used instead of collecting dust.
>>97266393>TC has another problem of it being accidental success and now they have no idea what they're doing so its throw shit at the wall and see what happensThis is so blatant it's not even funny Like, I used to have at least some faith in them, but once they've released the final rules after working on them for like half a year and it turned out that almost all of the most glaring issues from the beta are still there with fresh ones added on top and basically 0 new content it became crystal clear they have no idea what they're doing
>>97266372They understood, correctly, that 3D printlets cannot constitute a "community" for anything other than the hobby of 3D printing.
>>97266486There was no Sydney incident or Sydney incident video. It's a literal Discord false flag op lmao. The screenshots are out there of the fags who planned to signal-boost the fiction.
>>97266704Grimderp dogshit is so fucking tiresome.
>>97266839>most glaring issues from the beta are still there with fresh ones added on top and basically 0 new content it became crystal clear they have no idea what they're doingMind giving examples?I recall reading the rules and doing some quick test games when it first became a thing and all I could think was 2d6 system needs work because it just feels swinging for the sake of swingy. I've had more interesting battles in Twilight Imperium than in TC due to the 2d6. At first glance it seems you can pull what they indented to do with a D10
>>97266372>*mogs reddit crusade and always has done*return home white man
>>97266874So post the video and shut me right up.Or... wait... they're saying he CAN'T do that? :o
>>97266372>What is this business strategy called?Beating the chuds!
>>97266621>40K chaos >nuanced>NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! POOPGENOCIDE McBABYRAPE IS AN EDGY ANTIHERO WITH A VERY NUANCED PHILOSOPHY!LolLmao
>>97266727Whenever 40k isn't throwing RELIGION BAD punches at you it's throwing MEN BAD or BLOOD DEATH SKULLFUCK punches at you.
>>97266880Oh, I mean like, very specific things rather than the general ruleset, this tends to be swingy, but is rather alright in my book and the only major issue I had with it was how absolutely game changing armour is, and by extension how overpowered it makes armour ignoring attacks.For example some scenarios just plain don't work very well, like dragon hunt. Some units are blatantly overpowered unless you have specific things countering them (death commando or left hand path hunter for example), while others are ridiculously trash (ecclesiastic prisoners especially come to mind).
>>97266943And yet somehow ditchjihad manages to outdo it on all fronts of cringe
>>97267232Something else.The alt-right Christlet chuds who have mobilized against Trench Crusade (after being rejected by it) invented a story about some Trench Crusade players attending a gaming convention in Sydney and causing "an antisemitic incident". This sad Discord militia also lies and references a video that supposedly captured the incident, but no video has ever surfaced anywhere. This all started at least 4 months ago, not recently.
>>97266387>>game made by guy who really hates religious peopleHow do reddit atheists still exist in 2025? Is this guy like 50? Like if you 'hate religion', then just go fuck your wife and move on with your life? What kind of loser never got the memo that being obsessed is cringe and retarded.
>>97267232>Are the guys from TC saying the Australian terrorist attacks didn't happen?Yeah, it's pretty deranged. They're going full Alex Jones and claiming it was all crisis actors.
>>97266787>>97266760>>97266746The "young male" demographic is overwhelmingly chud nowadays, the reddit atheist gays are okay fuck shrubya mentality died 20 years ago when gen x aged out of being the young edgy generation.
>>97267272>What kind of loser never got the memo that being obsessed is cringe and retarded.You're allowed to be obsessed and deranged so long as it's for "the rught cause" (read: cutting off the dicks of young boys and hating Christians)
>>97267272Most Reddit atheists became trad caths or evangelicals. Same mentality different ideology.
>>97266372The bluesky gambit
Bait used to be believable. Go suck off Arch, my guy.
>>97266425>alt-rightkek, what an ancient bogeyman
>>97266372Brother enough. Your bitterness is pathetic.
>>97266581The two sides are:>Eldritch abominations that are powered by blood and suffering>Eldritch abominations that are powered by blood and suffering with crosses attached.
>>97266938Can you read? He's saying that the common view of chaos is that they'll always exist for as long as humans exist, not that chaos is morally on par with the imperium.
>>97266772>w-we're coming back!dems ran on all the shit chuds hate and got rejected handily, get better material
>>97267281@grok is this true?
How the fuck are we getting /pol/ in here. Go away faggots, let me enjoy my /tg/ in peace, good lord.
>>97267449>ask about devs that make political statements and talk about politics influencing their game>get some answers pertaining to politics>"How could this be happening!?"
What killed my interest, in this particular order:1. Expensive minis on release. You're not gonna stick it to the man, man, if your plastic is just as expensive.2. Bland, turboedgy setting offering little and taking itself far too seriously. Hate it all you want, 40k offers more than just grimderp and dudes in blue armor. Then there's more shit than just 40k, which brings me to...3. Oversaturation of skirmish games. I can, right now, play Kill Team, Necromunda, Frostgrave, Silver Bayonet and Saga. Each of these games offers something TC doesn't. In return TC doesn't offer anything unique, new, or even iterated from other games.4. Leaving "word of mouth" promotion to "grassroots hobbyists" i.e. to internet sperglords and the brain damaged permaonline discord mafia. Why would anyone ever do that.
>>97267467fuck I love Frostgrave
>>97266754You need better coping strategies.
>>97267449A lot of it is pol pretending to be the lefties they hate so much as an elaborate trolling/psyop scheme to check in on how “based” areas on this site are.If you’ve been here long enough you just develop the ability to tell.It’s happening in this thread as well.
>>97267460>"No, the fact that our fantasy game is about fictional warring Christian fanatics does not mean we support real life religious fanaticism or shouting "deus vult" like a sperg, please don't do that">political statements
>>97267521Anon, we're expecting too much from them
>>97267515>continue prodding to see if your invasive politics will be accepted without pushback yet>claim it was your enemies impersonating you when you get laughed atthis is really getting sad
>>97266372>art project that spun wildly out of controlMany such casesStill, if they can't rape you at an event they can now rape you by proxy via your wallet
>>97267536It’s true. The big giveaway is when you see a typical lefty opinion presented like the comment of a smug asshole. It is most of the time a pol larper.It would be very sad if it isn’t the case as the left likes to present itself as the reasonable and civil side.
>>97267566I really can't wait to see the glorious workers' revolution you limp-wristed freaks someday manage to pull together.
>>97267566>all smug asshole lefty posts are false flags, actually :)good lord this is some premium cope. You type like you're brown btw
>>97266894When GW reboot Mordheim in a similar way to how they destroyed Necromunda that will be the final kick to the rotting corpse of what I spent so much of my childhood on.
>>97267583>>97267585>goes mask off when caughtPlease change and grow for the better>as for lurkers Remember we’re talking about pol that has done some serious antics like that He will not divide us flag stuff. A lefty-cunt larp is small fry for their usual shit.
>>97267629I was a happier person when I thought that posts like yours were tongue in cheek, but knowing I share spaces with people who would type that and fully expect others to believe it is distressing.
