Everytime I find a new game I like

Normies are fine. It's the plague rats that shpw up, take nearly zero real interest, demand shitloads of changes that alienate long time fans, start attacking those annoyed long time fans and then just piss off to the next fad without spending any actual money to support the product. Those bastards are worse than Skaven

More people getting into it is fine.
The problem is when the developers change what was unique about the game just to make it appeal to more people.

Im guilty for this kinda stuff, i think about how the new warhammer stuff will bring in new players, and how i will be able to prove i have been doing the hobby for a long time.

I'll smash that left button every time. I don't care if so-called normies like the things I like, that's just kinda childish.
Until the thing you like gets changed so that it appeals to all the normies.
looks back at the smoldering ruin of star wars and star Trek...... shudders
I don't know man, TNG had pretty main-stream appeal in it's day, i'd say poor decisions are more too blame than 'normies' for most of modern star-treks problems. Same for star wars too, the OT was watched by basically everyone from all demographics. The sequel trilogies main problem was disney trying to churn everything out as quickly as possible without a clear road-map.
With the new Star Trek and the new Star Wars they tried appealing to everybody that's including the incredibly woke, and through a series of mismanagement bad decisions horrible horrible writing and just flat-out laziness they've destroyed both franchises to the point that not even Picard can bring it out oh, I'm from Gen X and I'm from a day when Trek and Star Wars were still considered very niche and mostly the Geeks were into it. Star Wars was a little better little more mainstream but still considered nerdy. They've tried to appeal to all the normies and people from outside and ended up killing the franchise, coupled with incredibly bad writing and storytelling
It’s like RLM said. The jocks are trying to run geek culture.

Tell that to Dawn of War 3.
retches
Not that... thing...
You have to admit the Ork music was pretty Boss, though.
what was so bad about that game? Never played any of them
It was streamlined to hell, you only got 3 playable races, Hero Units determined victory. Maps were terrible. There are countless reasons, Total Biscuit (God rest) did a video no it that is very thorough.
It went from being an RTS (the first one) and a tactical RPG (Second one) to being a shittier version of a MOBA.
With World of Warcraft graphics
Kind of depends on how popularity affects the series. If all that the popularity does is help the series get more attention/funding, then yeah sure. But quite often, once a series becomes kind of popular the series will change to appeal to a wider and wider audience, and eventually lose what made the series great in the first place. Or the series will be forced to continue past its prime just to get a bit more money.
Like what they did with or try to do with Ghostbusters
See there's a balance you need to achive. The people who like 40k will be drawn to it, but you cannot force other people to become a part of it by changing it.
Basicly, if 40k becomes mainstream, i would want it to remain similar enough to the current situation. It's not for everyone (Nothing is) but it shouldn't change to try to appeal to a wider audience who weren't interested in it in the first place
Amen.
