Frustrated Magic: The Gathering fans say Hasbro has made the classic card game too expensive
In the classic trading card game Magic: The Gathering, players wield spells, summon creatures, and battle on otherworldly fantasy planes enriched by novels-worth of lore and history. Building a good deck with a sound strategy to beat your opponents takes time and energy, but these days what it may take most of all is money.
So, what's Haas getting at, and what's with all the fuss on the Magic: The Gathering forums across the internet? Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast were roundly panned and accused of hatching a tone-deaf ploy to cash in on the nostalgia of fans with the deepest pockets or cater to the wealthiest collectors, who could go on to sell the cards at massive premiums. At this point, given the huge costs to keep up with the game, fans felt that they were rightly concerned that Magic was becoming a luxury hobby.
"There's a lot of wallet fatigue," LaGaccia said."In order to be competitive, you want the latest cards, and the cards you just spent a lot of money on are now obsolete." for the game. That would give the company more rights over — and a cut of profits from — the content.Some Magic: The Gathering fans have found alternatives. An emerging popular competitor is a game called Flesh and Blood, LaGaccia said. He holds regular tournaments at his shop and said that a lot of the players are ex-Magic fans.
