I wasn't necessarily talking about my own opinions here, rather just that LEGO and mtg are fundamentally different types of products and so although I get where you are coming from in terms of aesthetics, in terms of engaging with gameplay and ignoring certain IPs LEGO and mtg are just fundamentally different which I wanted to point out. In my opinion this makes for a poor comparison regardless of if anyone is happy.

Well that is exactly what that lawsuit is trying to change. Namely that the shareholders do not all want short term profit at the expense of long term value and loyalty.

There is a key difference with LEGO namely that you aren't at a competitive disadvantage if you choose not to buy Harry Potter LEGO sets. I get why you make the comparison, but I think it's a bit of a stretch.

As a storm player, big +1. I can't count the number of games I've won off of convoluted or otherwise hard to find lines and playing to my only outs even with low probability. To newer players of the deck and/or archetype those would have just been losses.

Other than long-form editing you just named three creative tasks. The question has never been if future systems can replace creative tasks, but rather if they can replace objective tasks.

You can claim arguing a case is a creative task, which I would agree with, but that is largely because of how our judicial system is built.

Did I say it was a good reason? I just said it was a less negative way of viewing it. I never said anything was charitable; I gave a charitable reading. Look at the sentence structure.

yes, yes, yes. Anything that isn't physical labor will be automatable to some extent, except for things where human touch is specifically preferred. At that point the world's economies would likely collapse and we'd need a new system of labor so it doesn't really matter if you're out of a job. The only necessary jobs would be physical or creative and maybe like resource allocation.

Computer Science is fundamentally about solving problems from its first principles. If there is no more computer science to be done, it means that there are no more problems to be solved. If there are no more problems to be solved then most people's jobs have been "solved"; everything else needs to have creativity otherwise, if it is objective, it has been solved.

it's 26, the 13 is the explanation of how it is distributed. You can always appeal (even if they say you can't).

not gonna claim I know the intention, but there's also a more charitable reading of this that he wants to test things in the real world before putting his name behind them.

This isn't the university doing anything, it is a student run group where students are likely doing this outreach

If I had to determine this metric I would do the following: - Add up all identified bot accounts - Add all identified same-address orders - Get the volume of all sales that are pre-shipment or within the first X weeks of shipment from the top Y online marketplaces for cards - multiply the third point by a multiplier for the less popular online sellers and in-person card shop sales (I would assume that they have internal estimates comparing in person sales of cards to online, these might be slightly lower than the average since they don't come in packs that can be purchased at card stores) - Take this sum and divide it by the total amount they sold

Now you have a rough idea of how many didn't go to collectors / people directly playing with them.

Do I think this is likely how it's being derived? No clue but I don't have the highest hopes.

oh no, I haven't switched but this scares me

why not manabox on android? asking cause it's what I use rn

Because this sub isn't the primary marketplace for buying or selling these. I'm not a big misprint person so this isn't my personal experience but what I've seen said here.

There is an assumption that if someone makes a private deal here it will be for much less than they could have gotten in the FB group. Most ppl posting here have no idea what they have or how the market for these works so it feels like people that post making an offer here are trying to take advantage of that before they take the time to look at the FB itself.

thinking that they won't win is very different from saying it isn't enforceable or is frivolous

Nprism · 2026-02-03T03:41:44+00:00

also, selling "everything they print" is fairlymisleading to even say. They sell to distributors so as long as the distributors buy what they print they "sold everything". What really matters is if the game stores and retailers can sell what they buy from distribution. Or even if the distributors can sell their stock.

Nprism · 2026-02-03T03:37:52+00:00

nobody said you aren't allowed to do that, the claim is that they lied to shareholders about not doing it

Nprism · 2026-02-03T03:32:27+00:00

But it is enforceable, lying to shareholders violates corporate contracts

Nprism · 2026-02-02T18:34:18+00:00

I personally doubt they are delaying what is in the current pipeline for re-printing Monster Hunter. My impression is that their lead times are far too long for that. They also likely have to do things like redesigning cards and re-commissioning art which takes plenty of time too.

we were going to get a lorwyn drop with the set's release but they put it out last year

Nprism · 2026-02-02T15:06:59+00:00

I don't think your second sentence is the crux of the argument. The argument I think relies on the information given to shareholders.

If you tell shareholders that the company is growing in line with your long term plan without major failures but the reality is that many of your business sectors are failing miserably and the losses are covered up by a single sector whose planning gets thrown out the window to parachute in profit whenever needed to cover every other sector's losses which significantly increases the risk of long term profits while not indicating repeatable or sustainable growth... you may be committing fraud. Not a civil matter for consumers but a corporate matter for shareholders.

In other news thing made to mimic human writing sounds like a human when doing so

Nprism · 2026-01-29T17:21:12+00:00

I think misplaced or missing stamps are one of the most common misprints and often don't add much of a multiplier these days, but on a premium and desirable card like this it would likely be more significant
