If this starts trending in mainstream news, what are the chances of another satanic scare over this game happening again from the far right?
Only if people looking at Pathfinder. It’s more queer which is terrifying to right wingers. So I give it like 10% chance and up up 25% if paizo gets in on the game
Wow, $100! That’s almost 3 whole seconds worth of revenue for them!
Plus they’re plugging their products into the lives of kidsz who will then grow up with their products and be more likely to purchase them as adults.
Don’t be fooled into thinking this is an act of benevolence. This is marketing through and through.
