Product fatigue amongst players is real and is also affected by the recession, but the majority of the Bank of America is alarmist nonsense. The set Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty came out last in winter 2022 and is the best selling set of all time, so Hasbro’s not hurting for sales yet.

Same. I hate Ready Player One with a passion, so I don’t want IPs to be everywhere, in everything, all the time.

No they didn’t. Guilds of Ravnica was the fall set. Ravnica Allegiance was the winter set. War of the Spark was the spring set. Same release schedule as before, same Standard environment as before.

Except that WotC’s never done a Christmas sale.

The problem is that the vast majority of new products are Commander legal, which happens to be the most played and most popular format. So every product is a Commander product in the end.

I don’t mind the “not every product is for you” mentality, but having so many release is exhausting.

She added that average sales for new releases haven’t changed year over year and that the company is simply printing on demand to meet current players’ needs. “We have no indication that there [have] been any broad negative changes to interest in trading or post-purchase selling of Magic products.”

Williams blamed part of players feeling overwhelmed by new Magic releases in 2022 on scheduling issues that led some expansions to happen back to back. 2023 is expected to return back to normal with six “tentpole” sets equally scattered throughout the year.

This is what was released since september, off the top of my head so I’m forgetting some:

Zoe Saldaña still has at least one more Marvel movie to promote, but now that Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 is in the can, her vibe is very “Nicole Kidman after signing the Tom Cruise divorce papers” about her relationship with the MCU.

This and Stone Cold’s “WHAT” are the two most popular gimmicks that I hate the most.

You are the one who keeps harping on the concept of a “boycott” whereas the original post you responded too did not mention a boycott.

Not purchasing a single product is consummer choice, not a boycott you you fucking idiot.

That employee will be sacrificied to protect Schofield’s management ego, not for some trolls on Twitter.

“A wrong file was patched,” Schofield clarifies in another Twitter reply. “Just freakin error by someone rushing.”

You’re conflating two different thing. Rule of thumb is that films need to do double their budget to be profitable.

15 years from now, when Bethesda releases it’s 38th “Ultimate, Definitive, Absolute Edition” of Starfield that still has the same bugs it had on launch, I wonder if it will be priced at 70$ or will it be at the new 90$ price of the time.

Even without those things, the games are still more expensive to make than they were and $70 is the same cost to consumer when adjusted for inflation.
