+1, and the fact that they had to write an entire post full of disclaimers ahead of the release proves it. fr fanbase has justified concerns sometimes but it’s kinda crazy to accuse them of being performative for releasing something that there’s already precedent for (a gem breed ancient). i don’t think they’re being predatory with a *$2.50* paywalled familiar, *which the proceeds for go to charity and not the site*, but i guess i see why people would be unhappy with that. but the dragon itself is fine to be a gem breed. you don’t even have to pay irl money to get gems.
