The shift from community to field is very special as it's the point where the haves ditch the moral pretense of horizontalism in favour of naturalising hierarchy.
They are making it clear that in ttrpg spaces there are a) the people who matter because they are visible to the powerful and b) the people who don't matter because their sole purpose is to pay the bills and absorb crowd-funding risk.

When you frame a space as a community, you are inviting moral claims about fairness, inclusivity, reciprocity, and responsibility. You are also inviting conversation about what the scene is, where it is headed, and what it could be.
Those claims and conversations stop when the framing shifts to talk of fields as the talk moves from what it ought to be to how to survive what it actually is.
