To me this separates “fandoms” from gamers. If you’re a tabletop gamer you’ll likely want to try and play multiple games. If you’re just in a fandom you’ll make that 1 thing your entire identity.
@The_Noise_13 God beyond the AI cover, it’s such larp that Warhammer 40K has very obvious problems as a war game that 40K fans constantly complain about compared to other games (price point, balance, etc)
This is why I'm wary of calling myself for example a 40k fan even if the franchise effectively expanded into other mediums like literature and computer gaming, I still feel like the actual fans are the tabletop wargame players. It's basic respekt and not overstepping boundaries
