Games of all kinds are purely a consumer product. If Issaries goes broke because they publish books nobody wants, so be it. No skin off my nose; I may like Glorantha, but I can easily find something else.
For me, games are certainly not a 'central part of living'. I only spend a few hours a week on roleplaying games. If I don't enjoy a game, I don't buy any more of its supporting products until or unless I hear that its been changed for the better.
Apparently, that makes me some sort of subhuman and non-fan in the eyes of the cultists on this list, despite the bookshelf full of Gloranthan material a few feet away from me while I write this.
I don't consider Issaries, or Glorantha, or any role-playing game or setting to be something worthy of a perpetual tithe.
Fans who lambaste other fans for lack of such cult-like behaviour will do nothing to make Issaries or Glorantha more popular.
