PSA: Lego turned evil, unfortunately. There are much better alternatives on the market these days.

Just let the man have his legos sheesh. Pick a better time.

What is your definition of evil?

> Lego turned evil

Could you elaborate?

[rrr_oh_man]

Suing small creators and businesses out of existence, scammy pricing policies (anything with the Star Wars license is overpriced 2-4x), increasing quality problems, very little in terms of own IP (in contrast to the 90s).

McKinsey types have taken over.

Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20884542 The "Held der Steine" logo lawsuit story is what has made me aware of their practices.

My guess would be a post from 13 years ago with 283 comments but I'm also curious.

Nah :) See above

[mindsuck]

What would you recommend instead?

If bought new:

Lidl (if you live in a country where they are active), BlueBricks, or Cobi. But there are half a dozen others which are excellent.

Used Lego is fine, though.

Evil... When? How?
