GAS-lit

Un article intéressant de Moreau Vazh sur le consumérisme dans le milieu du jeu de rôle.

Since returning to the RPG hobby, I have never seriously entertained the possibility of producing materials for sale and yet people will occasionally turn up in the comments and express regret that the adventures I talk about running will never turn into products they can own. Again, this is intended as a compliment; it is one of the highest compliments that consumerism allows you to pay and this is precisely the problem: The warmest thing that the culture knows how to say to us is that our work deserves to be a product. That it is worthy of someone paying $5 to have it in the form of a PDF that they will never read.

Son propos s'applique également à d'autres hobbies (tous ?). C'est également l'envers de la pulsion à vouloir monétiser chaque étincelle de créativité et d'expression.

J'aurai également appris que l'expression GAS ne vient pas de la photographie mais de la musique.
