thing is ps6 and whatever god forsaken name they come up for the next xbox are still multiple years out, no?

yeah i put ~80 hours into before they started pumping out paid dlc for their early access game and haven’t touched it since. and any remote desire to maybe get more out of money spent was immediately soured by that size.

yep, definitely ark with a pokemon paint job more than any game pokemon has put out. that paint job has still gotten a lot more people to play the game than a lot of other survival games.

one is a simple opinion. it harms no one. the other is an abusive personality that will continue to abuse.

there’s a massive difference between pineapple pizza lovers and this kind of person.

“hes’ got an ego but there’s NAZIS” is literal whataboutism. he’s still part of the problems out there. he is not a net positive on society, just like nazis.

the whataboutism is ignorant.

they’re going to “feel” persecuted, no matter what. might as well make them actually fucking fear it.

it’s only an oxymoron if you’re a moron. tolerance is a social contract. the intolerant break that contract and are no longer to be protected by it.

gaming has clearly angling towards skinner box design since mmos got big. you’re not a customer, just an atm to be looted for every penny.

“dedicated fan”. play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

exactly. but you can’t just keep farming UB forever. you need to onboard them into the ecosystem and keep them hooked in. time will tell if these people only cared about their specific media or if enough latch on to mtg the game.

so i sold out of mtg around covid and they started committing to “universe beyond”. but all signs point to their stupid shit being profitable for the time being. and the new UB stuff will now be going through standard will help their new player onboarding a bit.

they’ve unbanned cards in the past. most recently(not in this ban/unbanning) mox opal and splinter twin in modern. SFM and mind sculptor were also unbanned years ago. unbanning cards is not unheard of.

“close to the game” doesn’t know that this is definitely not the first time they’ve done this.

modern mind sculptor unbanned years ago and saw little play. SFM. more recently mox opal and splinter twin.

unbannings are just admitting that power creep has surpassed the level those cards were at previously.
