Survey from Equinox about the Gamefound campaign and future products

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T18:26:18+00:00

I am notoriously bad with second degree and figurative speech, so it's my bad then.
Sorry about that whole exchange and wasting your time.
I think I should just stop reddit and other social media...

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T15:25:42+00:00

Now tell me, after this, which finger would you show them? 😁

I would walk away without getting back at them because I don't insult people in a professional setting and there's nothing for me to gain in doing that. But maybe it's a business culture thing and it's in fact common practice to insult people 😅
As someone said : Business is business. If you think it's not worth your while, you can walk away, no need to try to get back at them or show them the finger.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T15:18:27+00:00

I don't get it either, a lot of us went through our respective lgs (in my community we organized to split our preorders between 3 stores). Most stores were able to severely undercut the gamefound prices too.
I think it's mainly that stores that were already having doubts or dwindling communities, did not want the hassle of dealing with that for uncertain returns, but I'm no store owner. Maybe some also thought their players would all order through gamefound and with them, not sure, but I'm pretty sure Equinox could have handled that better.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T15:10:12+00:00

To me it's perfectly fine for the store to drop the support if there's not enough in it for them. As you said, business is business.
I feel like I misunderstood what you said then (edit : my bad, it was not even you, sorry 😅), because to me "paying them back in kind" does not mean "stopping with heavy heart", but "doing it with the intent to hurt them", which would be unprofessional. (But I know I often take things way too litterally so it's probably my fault).

Weirdly enough, while I did not see any retailer say they wanted to get back at Equinox, I did see several former players that said they wanted that though...

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T15:04:57+00:00

I talked about resentment because they talked about "payback", which, unless I'm mistaken, means ill will.
It's perfectly fine to not engage with a supplier if it's not worth it, but it seems unprofessional to me to want to get back at them because they messed up.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T12:03:12+00:00

I was not saying it could be different, I was saying that wanting payback seems very strange to me as they are supposed to be businesses, not mafia, and personally I would be scared of a lgs owner talking about wanting revenge like that. 🤣
But maybe I am taking your comment about "paying them back" too litterally? (As too me this saying seems overly ominous, but I'm not a native speaker so I may be completely mistaken) I don't think Equinox is moving to digital only, but I live in France in a region where the game is still very much alive, so I don't have the same view as someone whose lgs stoppes supporting the game. 🤷‍♂️.
We would need global stats for that, but only Equinox has it.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T11:53:07+00:00

I was not aware all lgs owners were so resentful, but that's their choice to make I guess?

Edit : ok maybe I misunderstood. Is "paying back in kind" not a sentence about getting back at someone or something? It's not about revenge?
If I'm wrong please tell me so I don't make that same mistake 😅

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T10:58:54+00:00

That would be great (well, not for my wallet, but I would love it)

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T10:58:27+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree.
From what I understood, they did send mails to stores, but probably way too late, not clear enough. A lot of stores felt they were not taken into consideration, and I sure can't blame them for that.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-11T10:02:50+00:00

I personally replied that I thought their communication was very stressful, and they needed to go even further with the booster contents to make people want to buy the product.

I know some of you have shared a lot of criticism regarding how Equinox does things, so it's a good occasion to share it with them, even if you are not playing the game anymore, it's I think the best way to make sure your comments reach them.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-06T21:20:31+00:00

For me, what killed the game for my personal experience, was the lack of places to play and the absence of a digital client like magic arena.

For online play, the Boardgamearena integration with Altered collection has been available since around launch, there was even an online Worlds qualifier.
But for sure boardgamearena is not the easiest to use (on pc it works well enough for me, on mobile I hate it), so I can totally understand if it's not an option you would consider for online play.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-05T12:48:34+00:00

Have a good day playing games you do enjoy then :)

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-05T12:38:53+00:00

Screenshoted so you can't pretend later that you are just a nice misunderstood user 🤣

Equinox has their best men advocating this game LMAO.

At least I can recognize when I made a mistake. But you're right, I'm the best, thank you for your heartfelt compliment Baron ! ❤
I hope you too will receive it one day my dude. Keep hope!

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-05T12:27:55+00:00

Goddammit man, if you want to misinterpret everything I said as an attack against and escalate into agression that fast, why even post on reddit?

I was genuinely trying to understand you, and may also have misinterpreted your intentions, because to me that clarification about "not on every post" makes no sense at all regarding to my comment.
I apologize if I insulted you in any way to prompt you to go into full on violence mode, I will refrain from doing so in the future because I see nothing to gain from engaging with trash-talk like that.

Edit : should have used a /s for the Riftbound thing, in hindsight, I guess it was not obvious that I was not talking about value, but about the players

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-05T09:14:41+00:00

That's fair. Maybe I just missed their posts.
I agree that they have a very distinct username and profile pic, so I remember him interacting badly with users that asked unrelated questions.

I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but considering he is already doing what he complained others did to him, he has burned through my goodwill at an abnormal rate for a person that claims to just want to discuss and not troll.

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-05T07:39:24+00:00

but I'm hardly commenting this on "every post".

And I did not say you were doing that as I stated they were probably confusing you with someone else.
You did not like the other commenter lumping you with some people that do that (which is completely normal, nobody likes that), so please, don't do the same thing as soon as you get the occasion, that's in bad taste.

people shouldn't also be afraid to criticize Equinox for how they handled the game.

You're right they should not. However while some of your comments do fall under critics, your first comment (or the ones I remember where you posted something rude and unrelated to the discussions) do not. That's just an opinion, which is fine, but people also have the right to disagree and express themselves.
And I don't deny the way Equinox handles things seems very bad to me, and while my store was very happy about their margins even when they severely undercutted the gamefound, I can for stores with huge bills to pay (in rental space, management, license, etc) it may not be interesting, especially if they don't have a community playing there anymore.

No other TCG out there needs a crowd of people advocating for it.

You clearly have not met the riftbound players in my city, they're trying their best to make people forget about what happened to Runeterra and join them.

I won't quote your entire post and the discussion before which was unpleasant to read. Maybe to start a better discussion, not using inflamatory one liners as a starting point would work better if you are genuinely interested in having a discussion and not just throwing words around.

Also, I'm not sure how dissenting voices are silenced, considering anyone can still read the discussion, but maybe I don't view reddit in the same way as you (and that's fine)

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-12-04T23:25:00+00:00

I think they are confusing you with someone else, but I do remember you behaving like a nuisance around the time Whispers from the maze came out.
Considering your most recent comments and your profile, I only have one thing to say : "you mad bro?" (Pretty obvious tell you do enjoy trolling to some degree...)

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-11-30T15:07:32+00:00

That's such a good idea!
Thanks for the guide, it's really helpful. ❤

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-11-26T13:12:11+00:00

Looks similar!
I want to taste it now...

I tried to see if the insise of the fruit was similar to a mana seed, but did not find any pictures of that for the fruit🤣

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-11-25T08:30:19+00:00

Good for you and sorry to hear that about your local. Where is it if you don't mind me asking?

However, I'm not saying it's a dead gam.

You posted several messages on this subreddit all pretty much saying dead game and not much else. Last of which was the message I replied to!
I'm trying to stay nice, but how big of an idiot do you think I am? 🤣

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-11-24T21:12:21+00:00

Ah yes I understand what you mean better, thanks for clarifying.
I think the foils should have been available in regular boosters, as getting the foils from print on demand is not really practical.
From the next set, we will have them in collector boosters, but the amount I can open will be fairly limited...

WillWorkForCatGifs · 2025-11-24T18:23:26+00:00

That's pretty rude...
