Lets hope this goes somewhere. EU is punching well when it comes to putting a stop to rampant monopolisation, greed, and deceptive conduct of tech snd digital companies.
Don’t threaten me with a good time. A so-called ‘minority’ government is actually a good thing, keeps the bastards honest.
I don’t do early access, but looking forward to the full release to give this one a go
Actually nothing, turned out fine. Just experimenting with how much of a noticeable difference it makes giving the yeast a few days head start on the wort without the fruits.
There’s a lot of ‘folk wisdom’ in the brewing world I’ve found. Recipes which claim “you must do X” or “if you don’t do Y, it won’t work”. So I like to test different theories and see what’s true and what’s superstition.
Second attempt at a raspberry sour. This time, allowing a few days of ferment before adding the fruit, and a cold crash before bottling for higher clarity.
Was hoping their two songs last year would mean a comeback, but doesnt look like it unfortunately.
Capitalism strikes again. This is why we can’t have nice things, capitalists keep fucking them up.
There’s a pre-release for this product? That seems strange
Could be good if they move beyond young-adult/teen themes
Arena is even worse value in my opinion. At least with in-person drafts you get some money back in the cards you get (sell anything of value). I can’t justify paying the high cost they charge for *digital *drafts.
It’s a real shame too, I love drafting, but there’s no way I’m going to pay AU$20 for a single digital draft. I can’t believe anyone else does tbh.
I was ambivalent to the play boosters change because it was just the culmination of what we had seen coming for years… increasing the cost of the game for us players.
‘Project booster fun’ was always about asking the question “how fast and far can we push the price-point up for boosters?” They threw a bunch of options out, tested the water, and ultimately decided enough players would pay the higher price-point for the same cost to print. Pure, unfettered greed.
Magic was already expensive enough as it is. I won’t be forking out for in-person drafts at the new price. Bootleg cards serve my playgroups needs at a fraction of the costs. Greedy WotC execs don’t respect players? We shouldn’t respect them.
Was a really fun event, great at building our community, thank you to all involved! Looking forward to the next one
Unfortunately, his right foot might need a star
WotC exec is schizophrenic. They will never give up trying to give players less while charging them more. The never-ending cancer of “line must got up every year”.
You can just create a sustainable business model guys… one where costs are recovered and a modest return is made. You don’t need to give in to the squeeze from Hasbro to milk your product into the ground… and become like every other empty shell of a product they own.
There’s no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don’t let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.
I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library…
Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was “full refund, no questions asked” which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that’s illegal.
A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They’ve burned any respected reputation they had.
My only gripe is pretty straight forward: the cost to play.
I LOVE draft, but have been unable to play it on Arena due to the high cost of entry. They allow standard play for free, but paywall draft. I know I can technically grind dailies to get enough gold, and then if im lucky enough and win enough I can earn enough back to chain another draft, but this is eventually a losing game, a bit like a slot machine.
I just have zero interest in grinding standard, and refuse to pay almost as much as physical draft for non-tangible, digital version. It feels very predatory.
