Yeah, card crack is real. They’ve been whaling and getting kids into gambling since the 90s. Don’t know why lay offs there. Line go up just a little more probably.

It’s not that. It’s that the fewer people they have to pay the more money they get to keep. It’s incredibly short sighted and self destructive. But they don’t care at this point.

Yeah, my partner really likes the art but we're both aware that MtG was just the real world precursor to the current micro-transaction culture.

MTG used to have 2 or 3 releases a year. Enough to keep things fresh, but not an instance amount.

When I was working in a Game Store in the Early 2020’s, there as more than one release a week, and a major release about once a month. They set the milking machine to maximum.
