As I said before, the lack of consistency is the issue. They don’t seem to have any consistent rules or guidelines. Either acquisitions and exclusivity are anti-competitive or they aren’t. FTC needs to make up their minds.

I’m simply amazed.

I know for bigots, such as yourself, reading is often something you avoid as the truth often gets in the way of bigotry but do try to read what I actually wrote.

I’m potentially (again, I might return it) supporting the many creators of the game... and, indirectly, at an inconsequential level... sending a bit of money (that Rowling doesn’t need or even care about) Rowling’s way. Yes.

This is why I’ll probably buy the game and, if the first hour or so is decent, I won’t return it.

If you spend money supporting JKR, buying the game counts, you are absolutely not responsible for her views. You are on the other hand responsible for your own, which would include being more than ok with transphobia and bigotry, given you’ve chosen to support her, and being more than ok with funding transphobia and…

Which, were likely stolen remains from India. Stealing human remains and selling them was (still is to a degree) a big industry. The only reason most teaching skeletons in use these days in institutions are plastic is the import/export of human remains was made illegal. 

The scientific and medical community has a long history of unethical behavior when it comes to human remains.

They knew the key was there, and that you’re supposed to reach in.  They never considered someone might not want to put their hand in the gross hole.

Give players a couple of ground rules such as “things that are supposed to be moved will easily move when handled” before the whole thing even starts.

“Seems to me like poor QA, these need more time to polish the experience”

“We should not be angry at unethical things happening. Thats just the way of things and we should absolutely do nothing to change that.”

Not to condemn all human technology that resembles its creators.

But even then, we very clearly disagree on most of the fundamentals.

And judging by your inflexible and un-nuanced opinion on it

The thing is the arrow doesn’t need to go up. The game just needs to continue.

At some point the singles and the out of print sets meet the wrong side of the supply/demand curve and things come crashing down.

I can see that you’re a bit slow.

Unfortunately you’re missing a key piece of knowledge about the MTG scene.

In the end, this feels like an established developer with numerous highly successful products in their past exploiting the early access system and their fans to sand off as much potential risk as possible. If they’re selling a game, it should be complete.
