I should mention, too, that Bob was an early playtester, so he also has "chosen fan" energy around this. It's surprisingly how often people are not aware of how their feelings are easily manipulated by being "seen" by "important people". Influencers are amazingly easily and cheaply bought.

And I don't mean this as a slight to Bob. This is normal and natural human behaviour. He likes the game, and that's legit. But people don't go to war over things they like. They go to war over how others make them feel valuable.
