When did D&D start hating the people who play it? I know they have crapped on Gigax’s legacy
Some time around 4th edition as far as I can tell. 3rd edition was still crunchy enough to keep the filthy unwashed masses at bay, but 4th edition marks a clear delineation where it became simple enough to be infiltrated(or rather that was probably a result of the infiltration).
It sounds like you never played 4e. Like most cultural institutions, WotC didn't lean hard into faggotry until the 2010s, well after 4e's dev was finished.
4e was pretty unpopular. The infiltrators pretty categorically target wildly popular brands.
4e wasn't simple. Unlike 3.5e, it was just organized.
Not a lot, but enough to glean that 4th edition streamlined a lot of stuff and took out some of the crunch. Or at least that was the impression I got from my brief foray into it.
4e didn't have the sprawling build-crafting that 3.5e made its name on (and 5e returned to) but it was a miniature tactics game. Agree to disagree, but I don't see how a game where you only control one unit could get much crunchier than 4e.
