Fairly accurate and generally positive, if somewhat tongue in check, look at the hobby, GW and its success over the years. Definitely not a bad take compared to how the mainstream usually looks at the ‘nerdy hobbies’ from boardgames and on.

Do wish some of the hobby sources out there would actually read it instead of using it as clickbait, Spikey Bits in particular were being absolute idiots about it (anything to drive traffic right, doesn’t matter if it’s false, someone else’s work or even 3-4 years old / out of date). The title is a joke you silly Americans, while the article itself is overall quite positive about hobby and company alike.

Nobody is attacking your hobby or actually comparing it to substance (ab)use. Not to mention it’s plastic crack, which would make it plastic cocaine and not heroin. 😉
