So they’re hamstringing normal cards (to protect gamers of course!) and releasing a “new” card without the hamstring at a higher price and we’re to believe this is simply to protect gamers and not a money grab?
- namdnay 6y agoIt's a seller's market at the moment, so an easier "cash grab" would just be to increase the price of the base card to the higher price. No, I think the belief is that they need to keep at least a minimal base of support among gamers and developers, for when the inevitable crypto crash comes and they need to go back to their original customer base
- rrss 6y agoWouldn't the easy money grab be to just set MSRP for all cards way higher ($5k?) while the demand is ~infinite?
