    So much of the team at Wizards has been culled.

    Even outside of the MTG sphere, they canned most of the D&D team, including those who helped develop the gameplay system used in Baldur’s Gate 3 which was the universally recognized best video game of this year.

    Goes to show that even a team at its best isn’t immune to corporate greed.

      From the video, it was insane that several of the highest grossing sections at WotC were culled. With the excuse that they were cutting underperforming divisions.

      Absolute madness.

    Well, they are free now to make profitable products elsewhere.

      I honestly hope this happens. Whether they get mass poached or just form their own new competition, they were clearly good at making products we enjoy.

      They wont. MtG is only the power house it is due to cultural inertia. Better card games die in its shadow because not enough people want to learn an equivalently complex rule system.

      And pathfinder, the better dnd, has been there for ages. But not even the community cash grab wotc did shook dnds foundations.
