I just wish my internet didn't bother that much so I could play more. I try to get more stuff out of grinding my way into season rewards. Last season I got a nice card and go my power the range on 2000s and I'm earning more SPS that goes directly into stake. I hope that in the future this little by little savings can help be boost my HIVE account and it can work in a feedback loop with Splinterlands. It's interesting the comparison with MTG. I'm fond of that game, but investing in card games seems to always fall into the category of having vintage cards. The investment in MTG goes in to form of buying sealed product and selling it later for higher prices. There's a whole YouTube Channel dedicated to that topic. The other way goes in the form of Power 9 cards and, cards from Alpha and Beta expansions. In that regard, these games are similar. But I get it the point was to compare the holders of the games and how the business model makes profits.
Yeah, I don't know anything about MTG, but they are similar enough to compare. The business models however are completely different. Just think, with digital you can take it out of the box and play with it, and it will still be pristine :)
One of the challenges with Internet businesses, are Internet connections...
Yes, I get that part. Most of magic tournaments were held on MTG Arena since the pandemic started. A lot of players have migrated to digital because of this and I bet they even have more players now. So, Hasbro is getting some more clients over there and giving developers more jobs.
I think the employee numbers reflect that. It looks like they added a couple hundred in 2020.
Yes, they also have integrated members of their extensive list of supporters from YouTube. Some of them end up being hosts during tournaments or holding other kind of tournaments and showing products.
