seems fairly baseless imho. what's so Magic about Hex that all of the other trading card games aren't? it's not like they stole art or card names or anything right?

idk much about copyright law but looking at the cards they seem to consist entirely of mechanics, function, and format lifted directly from mtg

no art or card names, yeah, but it looks like it plays 100% the same

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
that's how you do a kickstarter, ask for a reasonable amount of money from idiots like bitcoiners who won't complain when you bail with the money since they're used to being fleeced by everyone

The whole premise of this thing is so bad that it doesn't need to be commented on, but my favorite part is this:

what github really needs is a distributed network of clients that store not only the entirety of everyone's git repos forever and all of the changes made to those repos but also each client also needs to "mine" because you can't just let anyone make a pull request until it gets approved by the network. it's like all the benefits of "but with bitcoin" and also all of the drawbacks!!

So, anyone remember Pantheon? The Crowd Funded MMO that Brad McQuaid, ruiner of Everquest, was sponsoring?

Turns out he took something like a 50k personal salary advance from the project, the rest of the funding fell through and the entire project is falling apart.

Where's his money from EQ? He lost it loving around in the stock market in 07 and now has "no cash to his name."

looking at it the game is very similar to magic, but if it didn't copy duels of the planeswalkers ui/effects it probably would of flown under the radar.

yeah but the thing is, Kickstarter has a thing that's set to remind you "hey you haven't pledged to this thing you told us to remind you about, and it's now down to 48 hours"

so a lot of people pledge at the first few days when it's new, then a bunch more pledge the last 2 days or so based on the reminder; as well as based on fans of the thing spamming links all over if its at all popular.

i doubt they made 5000 fake accounts to bump it up to the goal. probably just finally hit the right news outlets.

on the 20th they created a $35 tier and one of the rewards was $20 in DLC, so that was 35000 towards their goal
