    I find it amusing that MtG got so old and bloated that they just said “fuck it” and sold out to as many profitable franchises as they could find.

    Ah, the 90s cash-cow is still getting milked, I see. What a poor slop of slack-jawed bastards: shelling out for shiny flotsam w/ inflated valuation that can be instantly erased at corpo whim — the same bullshit tactics GW’s been peddling in plastic for years before. (and still is, yes)

    FFS, I noped out during Antiquities when I saw what a POS “card crack” model it was. How is this still alive?! 🤢

      Because it’s fun to play? People buying and hoarding cards because of their monetary value is certainly something that happens, but this is first and foremost a game.
