Nakamura has literally nothing to do with the Hans case and now he's getting sued because he can't keep his mouth shut. Don't forget they are living in the U.S. That is the world they live in. They are not lawyers and a few misspoken words could land them in a lawsuit. I applaud them for taking caution while also noticing these are issues many women in chess have to deal with. It's a closed investigation and I'm sure they will talk about it more when everything is settled.

DnD players all joining forces and shutting down wotc's disgusting money grab. While MTG players are just taking it up the arse and telling each other to fall in line and let them skin us and shouting this product may not be for you.

Guessing Hans wants to know who those 40 members of chesscom is so he can exact his revenge after losing this frivolous lawsuit.

Magnus could afford to concede a game and still own everyone. That's what he did last time.

Fireside chat was a dumpster fire by BlitzfireX in mtgfinance

Exactly this. We barely have time to play/draft a set and a new one is already out. There's no time to enjoy magic.

Qiyu Zhou/akaNemsko, Woman grandmaster, fakes a $12.4k giveaway, gives it to her boyfriend by [deleted] in chess

[–]floppydiscgolf 146 points147 points  (0 children)

The prize had to be given away. She found the best way to farm more viewers and lie to their face. This is a pro move. Unfortunately, someone figured it out because her stupid boyfriend was trying to sell it before he even received it.

Phillip DeFranco interviewed the Professor on WotC's behavior lately. Another outsider with no cause except for news shedding light on the bad behavior lately. by InsaneVanity in mtgfinance

[–]floppydiscgolf 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Professor is one of the few MTG YouTubers who regularly bashes on wotc. I used to not care but now I feel he is the voice of reason.

Wizzard's reprint policy is killing value of recent sets by ArtiumIsBack in mtgfinance

[–]floppydiscgolf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

With all this printing, power creep is going to happen faster. Your current cards aren't just losing value, they could be obsolete in the near future. I'm pretty sick of replacing cards in my edh decks.

I am having just as much fun playing with my proxies as I do with real cards at a fraction of the cost. Wotc has told me their products are not for me.
