I really don’t think you understand inclusivity. To steal from the (US) Federal Trade Commission, the Armada community doesn’t care about someone's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or sexual orientation. We don’t care about if someone is over- or underweight, their level of intelligence, their skill in the game, or if they prefer Coke or Pepsi. We love the game and are always trying to get more people to play it. Being an ******* is completely different story and will get someone ostracized from most gaming communities.

TBH I don't mind, because every time you ignore my well articulated points and ironclad logical arguments, and instead choose to attack me for daring to criticize FFG and accusing you all of being spineless sheep who desperately want to be BFFs with FFG, I know that I've won the debate.

None of you are capable of composing a valid counter-argument because you're all guilty of group-think and sucking up to FFG. Your best argument seems to be "Asmodee is a business and therefore their #`1 priority must be making money." That is such absurdly inept defense of GAME that is intended to be recreational, deep, and challenging. But all you sheep seem to care about is Asmodee's bottom line.

You left off all of my arguments that were relevant to the original question. Here, I'll repost.

The above assumes neither Legion nor X-wing had intentionally long development cycles (Legion's case at launch, X-wing during 2.0 reset) to have a backlog of product that is then released faster than it is actually created initially to help keep attention on the product. The two corroborating pieces of evidence for this tactic are Legion's slowing release rate (down from a unit a month), and that Armada Clone Wars, in the interview you dismissed, is getting two waves in two subsequent quarters, which is unprecedented speed for this game.

If you read a **** thing, you'd know this is always put in terms of "We'll take one good versus five bad". That's the detail you're missing, or more likely intentionally excluding, because it doesn't fit your self-serving narrative of personal superiority over the general public.

No one else likes this either, dude. There are entire channels of communication between FFG and the Armada community specifically to help keep us informed about their attempts to fix this. They have gone quiet recently, because if you haven't noticed, FFG was gutted, followed by a global pandemic. The former of which was met with absolute outrage that was expressed constructively, which is to say not here.

That's tribalism. It's not about being right or wrong, it's purely about defending "your tribe."

My tribe are the other members of the Armada community that you attacked. See my previous posts.

Get out.

What for? He has plenty of opinions he somehow expects us to care about, despite making it clear he doesn’t care about anyone else’s. This is exactly the kind of thread he should anticipate making with that attitude.

Apologies to the people who stumbled in here expecting better.

About my apology to the OP, I was referring to me calling it "a waste of time". Just didn't want to be drawn into this madness. Think of me as Switzerland 😊

Because I guarantee you’re the only person here who thinks you’ve won, which in a debate objectively means you haven’t.

Lol. Four words was all it took.

I'm inspired to stand with Jabbawookie. THE SHEEPLE have awakened!

If you stand with the sheeple, then please follow the example of the mighty profile sheep. (You can find it by selecting the "black sheep" tab when looking at profile pics)

I was hoping to find a clip from Megas XLR where Coop says "Hey, nobody blows up Jersey... but... me?" and then say that only I'm allowed to insult you jerks.

... but I couldn't find it. So let's just pretend I did and have a good laugh about it?

Nice attempt to get me to give up this profile pic. Not falling for that.

Still not what I was looking for, just a reminder that Megas XLR was great.

It is ludicrously unreasonable to expect customers to care about a big evil corporation's profitability.

Do any of you truly care about Apple, or Microsoft, or Sony, or Disney, or AMC, or American Airlines, or Exxon-Mobil, or Monsanto, or EA?

I don't think so.

Even though I will probably not get a good response to this, I’ll try to answer some of your questions reasonably.

Actually, I do care about profits. And I don’t have any money invested in any of the companies you named. While profit does go to shareholders and CEO’s, it also goes into expansion, R&D, customer service, and generally making the business and the product better. Research and development are HUGELY expensive, so if profit margins are thin the companies are less likely to fund experimental projects. Also, if I like the product and like the price, I want the company to survive and continue making more product. To do that, they need their product to be profitable. Profit=continued development and releases. No profit = discontinued products.

I don't believe that any Armada players truly prefers 1 or 2 Armada expansions per year versus more expansions every year. You all just claim that you're fine with 1 per year because that's all that FFG has given us for the last few years, and you're unwilling to criticize them in any way.

2 releases per year is the upper limit of what I personally would prefer. I actually like armada’s slower release schedule. With a full-time job, 5 kids, a wife and other drains on my time, I’m lucky to get in 2 games per month. If waves were released once every 6 months, I’d get maybe 10-12 games (realistically more like 3 or 4) in before a new wave hits. If we had monthly releases, I’d be so far behind I’d get really frustrated. That’s actually why I stopped supporting Legion. So many new units dropped so quickly I figured I would never be able to catch up, so I just stopped. A too-fast release schedule can be just as damaging as a slow one.

Finally, everyone, relax. We’re (mostly) grown adults. It’s not worth getting bent out of shape over playing with plastic toy spaceships set in a fantasy universe of Space Wizards, Dark Lords, Heroes and Damsels in Distress. Armada is my escape from the children in my house. I hate seeing childish displays here.

At this point I think everyone is pretty relaxed.

Some kid spilled his spaghetti all over this thread and it's given us all a good laugh. Honestly we should be thanking him, this thread gave me a particularly solid chuckle in this time of little news.

Is this where I sign up for the Internet Tough Guy competition? I'm fresh from kicking chuddies on the PonyFanFic forum, and looking for a REAL TEST for my INDESTRUCTABUBBLE ARGUMENTATIONS!!

Well I'm out of reactions for today.

All of your inept attempts to infantilize me are absurdly hypocritical.

I am by far the most articulate writer in this thread, regardless of whether anyone agrees with me or not. The fact that I'm expressing dissatisfaction about the state of Armada doesn't make me a child. But you all trolling me for expressing my opinions certainly make you bullies. I've never backed down from a bully, and I have the scars to prove it.

The fact that your admit to simply laughing off what I've said and treat it as a joke, demonstrates your close-mindedness and total lack of maturity.

People like you haven't entertained any of the thoughts and opinions that I've articulated on this thread. You just cackle like hyenas and ignorantly attack, as evidence by the tribal dog pile that's been going on this afternoon.

I truly think it's sad and pathetic the way that group-think has infected this forum. You are absolutely close-minded and incapable of allowing anyone to express differing thoughts and opinions.

And since you're shamelessly reappropriating sheep, and this herd mentality is even worse than I imagined, I'm now going to refer to you all like this:

I mean, are you sure you're the most articulate? I can cleft a gerund to make ladies swoon, and I DID get "best English student" in my graduating high school class.
