There's no fucking point into getting into these games anymore, is there? The enshittification is just going to keep happening.
>>
If there was no point you'd just have shrugged and walked away. But you didn't, so either GW got The Shit You Need™ and you'll remain regardless, or you're just here to bitch and complain without any actual interest in the games.
>>

Just play old editions with your friends.

FUUUUUUU

Thank God I play Heroscape, I never had to work about that shit.

fuck

They don't sound like good friends if that's the case.

Have you noticed the common denominator?

I'm in the process of digging my models out of storage because I have not played 40K since 7th edition but now I'm thinking of getting back because of 11th edition. If that doesn't work out cuz I live in a small town with limited opponents I'll just sell my armies on eBay.
>>
>>98752836
7th edition was cool.

I never actually played a game of it, but I had the Dark Angels, CSM and Daemons codexes. Plus the dark vengeance box set that I was supposed to split with my friend (we were 13 at the time) but he confused warhammer fantasy with 40k and said no to 40k. Even though we agreed to get that specific box and I paid for it all upfront. That’s why I fucked your girlfriend Ian. Because you betrayed me.

I really wish I could’ve spent my youth playing warhammer, but instead I did drugs and had sex with women.

Man i wish i did drugs and had sex with women instead of hanging out with the tards at the wargaming store.
>>
>>98751008
Reject modernity, return to OldHammer
>>
I don't know. I play both at RTT's and also fun casual games with my friends. I find it is easier to play 11th, but it definitely does not have the charm of playing previous editions. Also some of the secondaries dont work unless you play on 11th maps. Also so over how much GW pushes new editions. It's just a bother
>>
I'm enjoying Xenos Rampant. It was published about 3 years ago and that's it.
>>
>>98751453
youll find that the goyim always hated X edition actually but now that Y edition has been released, its resolved all those problems and theres no reason to ever go back to playing X edition.
>>
>>98751531
Branch out then. Check what other lgs people are playing, whether you can tolerate those people, and if you like the models of whatever game they're playing.
>>
>>98757397
>branch out

Yeah just magically make friends sure. Like that'll work. You can just make anyone you see your friend, sure! That's not how it fucking works. You know what the most terrifying social encounter is? It's talking to people in spaces that might share your hobby IRL. It's talking to nerds and geeks. They scare me. They fucking scare me compared to talking to normies because I am terrified they will exclude me. They fucking terrify me. I don't want to relive high school all over again.

And you'll still keep buying into it instead of making your own forever edition with blackjack & hookers

>>Old World destined to be ruined by edition churn

But its already been nearly 3 years and we know we're good for at least another entire year. One edition every 4 to 5 years is pretty good.
>>
>>98758603
Once a decade would be ideal
>>
>>98751008
Have you tried not playing GW "games"?
>>
>>98751966
The appeal of Warhammer is the large community so you are always guaranteed to find a game. Go back an edition, or even homebrew, then you may as well be playing any other wargame
>>
>>98762741
Such concepts doesn't compute in paypigs heads.
>>
>>98762744
This. The vast, vast majority of GW drones are very much "new good, must play new thing, old thing bad" to the point that playing older editions is pointless because the effort isn't worth it.

>>98762741
Blood Bowl, Adeptus Titanicus and Middle Earth are very much good games. The others, eh, not so much.
>>
Yeah, it's kind of messed up how much of wargaming is impermanent and only around for as long as it's supported, or until a new edition changes things. Games without miniatures have a habit of sticking around way longer because that's not their appeal and they don't need to release the new and shiny all the time.

It's even worse because it's incentivized. Once your audience has bought enough new shit that they can buy no more, kill it and sell them something different.

It's the opposite, people still play Mordheim
>>
>>98762954
Technically. If you go to your LGS, I'm sure you won't find any Mordheim players there, and both the hobbyists and owner of the establishment will look at you funny.

>Old World destined to be ruined by edition churn
Can't ruin what's already dogshit to begin with. Old World is complete ass- an abomination of an edition with dozens of buggy/gamey interactions because an intern copy/pasted half the rules since GW didn't think it would sell. They've been trying to fix the game ever since but it's still a massive shitshow, and this is before even acknowledging the absolute retardation that is legacy factions.
>>
>>98763106
This is why people should just play warmaster instead.
>>
>>98751453
This is the tabletop equivalent of saying you'll move to Canada.
Nobody does it, and it isn't actually a practical option for 99% of people. "Just get a friendgroup of people who agree with you on everything" is impossible.
>>
>>98751531
OT, but this is exactly what happened to my D&D group, and also happened to my friend's Warhammer group: everyone always wants to play the "NEW HOTNESS" instead of the "OLD AND BUSTED".
Had to find an online group to keep playing the D&D edition I wanted, but my friend dropped out of the hobby, since you couldn't really play miniature games online...
>>
>>98765130
I think the ideal solution is to just start killing them. If we can't play older editions of games, fine, but that means you can't play newer editions.
>>
>>98751008
Common consensus for Necromunda was that a new edition needed to happen but everyone was hoping for a 3rd to 4th WH40k change and instead we got a 3rd to 8th WH40k change.
