Has wargaming lost its focus, or are we simply finding more ways to enjoy the hobby? A recent rant raises some uncomfortable questions about overflowing game shelves, endless unboxing videos, crowdfunding excitement, and whether we spend more time talking about wargames than actually playing them. As someone who creates content and enjoys adding games to the collection, there is plenty here to think about, including where enthusiasm ends and the pressure to keep buying begins.

In my latest Cardboard Commander video, “Has Wargaming Lost Its Focus? My Take on the Rant,” I discuss the arguments and what they mean for a hobby that brings us history, strategy, friendships, and some fantastic evenings around the table.

Grab a cup of coffee, watch the video below, and share your thoughts: does this rant raise fair concerns, or does it overlook the enjoyment people get from collecting, watching, and connecting?
