This must be an intentionally ironic post. 

Nothing in the game is especially well-designed so the emotes don’t stand out in this respect. I do, however, think that getting emotes “right” shouldn’t be an especially difficult task, but in this case it seems like they must have intentionally went with symbols that can have multiple meanings.

Why couldn’t they make it a touch bigger? Even from a business perspective, it’s a fair criticism.

Yeah. I was surprised to see this poster here. The numbers are skewed in very strange ways for the EVs. 

additionally, nobody seemed to have a problem understanding the original OGL 1.0.

It is very peculiar that this game is celebrated on this site; however, it is not especially surprising.

I agree that pretty much none of the outrage seems to make sense. I’ve been playing TTRPGs for decades but I’m not plugged into all these “content creators.” I just buy a rulebook and play the game.

So she still does the content because she doesn’t want to give her staff a severance or time off when she could instead monetize them?

A perfect response. 

To learn about ~10% of game, I guess.

Allow me to provide some more details:

The idea that anyone could consider this a “very good game” or really anything else other than a time killer intentional designed around habit-forming behavior is concerning. It instantly calls to question the author’s ethos. 

It’s actually more complex than this. Cards from collectable card games like Magic the Gathering must pass a series of “tests” in order to be determined authentic and legal for play.

The black lotus from that set is just as useful as one you buy from a Chinese proxy dealer.

I have students that believe this is happening at their school. They act absolutely outraged about it and talk about how the hallways are full of students dressed as cats.

The USSR and Modern Communist China follow a capitalist system. The “communist” nations of the 20th century were pushing a socio-political philosophy that they theorized would bring them to a post-capitalist society. That has not yet been accomplished and Communism isn’t a realized economic system by any state.  

I personally think they could do some great social commentary by casting non-white actors as FF characters; however, I was pretty certain that they wouldn’t due to all the backlash they’d get.

I’m also hesitant to think that a game from hearthstone developers would be good and this post pretty much confirms that.

I’m not exactly sure how your example is any different than “real life.” People have been acquiring things (sometimes for free), storing them, trading them, and selling them without doing any of the things one might “ought” to be doing in terms of taxation for as long as we’ve had tax codes.
