Just a silly shower thought I had after hearing about Nintendo's copyright claim against Russ from Retro Game Corps.

They only reason they don't dispatch terror squads of thugs door to door is because it would be illegal, not even because it would be bad for PR.

Ask WoTC how they feel about sending thugs to people's doors

I can't believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn't made by someone who would send thugs to your house!

People simply don't give a fuck. Unless the product isn't mediocre, they could bomb kids as far as they care (unless it appears as a scandal, and they feel morally pushed to move on)
