Except they can't afford to fuck around like this anymore. The open beta for Hearthstone is around the corner and it's going to be huge (despite being a bland as fuck game). Hell, they give out beta keys like candy and even despite that, I just managed to Ebay a spare key for 17€.

Their online platform is worse than pure, liquid shit, but Magic is a fantastic game. That's the only reason why people are still willing to put up with it. If a good game with a nice interface comes up, Wizards might be in trouble. People realized that there's money to be made with Online CCGs, so sooner or later it's bound to happen that a decent competitor might arise.

I've said it before:

People will use MTGO in spite of it being an awful platform, because MTG as a game is so much fun. The WotC team can't separate that MTGO popularity has nothing to do with the platform, but rather the desire to play MTG.

Is that the reason for the Trice CnD letter? Because that's where I play when I need to test shit.
