"In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work." -17 U.S. Code § 102 (B)
Under US Copyright law it is entirely legal to make an open clone of Games Workshop's rules.
If people are tired of GW bullshit about "Counts As" and retiring old units and stuff then JUST FORK THE RULES and start playing that instead, with community iterations of the point values. Hell, there could even be points values for Warmahordes and Star Wars Legion.
You don't need a company to keep a game going. SWCCG tournaments lived for decades after Decipher abandoned it. What you need is just a critical mass of people who play it to give the rule set enough momentum to be worth having tournaments. If an open, community managed wargame caught on, it would take the wind out of GW, who have been extremely poor stewards of their game.
Even if someone did once they become big enough to be publicly traded it’ll get converted to woke eventually. It’s a deadly cycle that won’t stop until people wake up or we begin to bully the fuck out of woke retards
Bullies don't win from the position of outsiders.
Linus Torvalds can be a bully successfully. Because he built up a thing with himself as BDFL. Nobody can tell him it's not his. We need to do the same.
Linux Foundation succumbed to the activist parasites years ago.
Smokey, if you're so convinced that you can't win so you shouldn't try, then just fuck off. Because I don't care for your blackpill defeatist bullshit.
What are you pigeon holing me for? I'm just stating that the adversary has infiltrated much of the hacker subculture as it has many others. The suggestion is to not underestimate the tenacity of bad forces, the risk of 1000 cuts.
