How the hell are there people that defend 4th edition, much less 5th?

4th edition gutted non-combat, stripped out any way of playing the game without shilling for minis, and basically eliminated rolling for stats at all. For fuck's sake, D&D started because some wargamers wanted to do something different that wasn't a traditional wargame, but come 4e it was basically back to where it started, but without any respect or understanding of its own multi-decade history.

Meanwhile, 5th edition got rid of the grid-wargame-shilling stuff from 4e, then got rid of EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE. This thing pretends its old school because it went "back to basics" by gutting the combat too this time. I guess gutting all the rules would make it easier to shill the game and pull in Big Bang Theory fans and hipster cunt uni students who don't play but pretend to because "lol I'm such a nurrrd!"

So tell me, how the fuck can you people defend this shit and still sleep at night?
