I'm not the only person who's noted that WotC's decisions are about money. But Seth digs into the quarterly earnings and if he's reading it right, Magic is the only moneymaker Hasbro has...which is not a good sign for the game.
Look, I really enjoy playing this game, even if the decisions being made by WotC/Hasbro are compelling me to carve out my own version of Magic. And I don't feel like trying to gatekeep the game away from people who enjoy Universes Beyond properties. It's an old, tired attitude and I don't feel like being exclusive.
But I can't help but raise concerns when product starts to flood the market like this, all to buoy a company that is really flailing everywhere else. This isn't a sustainable model, or at least it doesn't feel like one.
I still want to play the game-so I want it to continue, just in a way that builds a future for Magic, and not for other IPs.
