    Board games have been nearly ruined by kickstarter. Instead of buying a well reviewed and recommended game from a store, you have to back a hyped up sales pitch, and then wait 18 months for delivery, if the producers don't just bail with your money or go "oops, we couldn't finish what we promised, and we already spent all your money...". And if you don't back it to later read the reviews, the game is out of print and still waiting for the first wave of deliveries, meaning a second print is still at least 1-2 years off. Also, the ratings are heavily skewed by people rating on the hype or early/review copies, meaning the rankings are heavily amazonified. EtA: Also games are heavily bloated with social media candy: heavy and fragile minis, box stands, blingy crap periferals (branded dice holding toucan) and still needing organisers, player aids and mods from third parties who've gotten review copies to make said supplements... Oh, and the stretch goal extras (get another 150 vanity minis/3D printed scoring tokens) for only $250 and an 18 month wait! Edit: updated with more realistic examples

    bans due to differences of opinions... although I've already seen that here pretty frequently. People should be allowed have different opinions. sure you can call them a dummy for having a stupid opinion, but don't just ban them. That just creates echo chambers.
