plainswalker75 posted:Is pump-and-dump mentality why TCG content creators are constantly putting out content to insist that FaB is a real game and definitely popular? Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but I feel like the only information I ever see is purchasing/finance related or yet another "look how many people are playing this game now, I swear it's a big deal" video. content creators in general have an incentive to be hyped about whatever the hot new product/topic is. it's a ready-made topic for your video/article/whatever, gives you good seo, and you'll have a better time time building an audience with positivity. plus saying nice things about companies can lead to freebies and special access to stuff (like how wotc gives out card spoilers to people). it's hard to get an honest opinion from someone in the content creation business also writers for tcgplayer/cfb/scg are often told to write about a new card/set/whatever by the editor, not a conspiracy or anything but the point of an article is to move product, so you don't see many articles recommending that you not buy product not everyone is a con artist but everyone needs to eat

LeafHouse posted:Magic did that after the game had blown up though. Cutting their OP program left a big opening in the market and I don't think it's entirely foolhardy for FAB to pounce on that as a selling point. I agree it looks good as a bullet point or whatever but the reality is your niche ccg startup is not going to have the revenue to support it. If there weren't enough aspiring mtg grinders to make the pro tour a worthy marketing expense, then how is F&B going to land more whales with 1% of the audience.

Randalor posted:While I fully agree that he should have a ban from his past history in MtG, I think this is the first instance of this happening at a F&B event, and at least they've put him (and the community in general) on notice of what they will and will not allow at their tournaments now from players. They've definitely put the community on notice that if you cheat, you will receive some stern words from the organizers as they hand you your trophy and prize money.
