    Yea a tiny side project made by a dozen people on the team making a really sweet little idea for a game is clearly indicating that they're fading away.

    This is the dumbest fucking thread on MMO-C atm.

    Yes, so dumb for thinking they would give us new IP when they specifically stated it had nothing to do with their previous games... Sorry but set in the "universe" of one of your games HAS TO DO WITH ONE OF YOUR GAMES. Fucking lying assholes. This is why I don't play their shitty fucking games anymore.

    But u gota buy the cards....

    Id rather have a Blizzard Kart Racing then this game ><
    You can get the cards by just playing without paying at all. People that buy cards get them faster than people that don't. It's a business model that has been around for years.

    Worst...reveal...ever. Seriously what are they thinking? Why in the world would they even attempt to pursue something like this? Sigh.

    Something that YOU didn't want.

    Why the hell would Blizzard choose to unveil a major release at PAX instead of Blizzcon? That's just throwing good material down the toilet.

    What is with the mass of hatred? It's free to play. You're not forced to play it. Even if you want to try it out they aren't going to charge you. My lord you folks can be utter dolts sometimes.

    It's a fresh idea and it looks interesting to say the least!

    And people can go back to speculating if every fart from the direction of Irvine is related to Titan.

    You expected ANYTHING better on this site? It's full of anti-Blizzard circlejerkers who get enraged at stupid shit.

    I like card games and I'll definitely give this a try, it looks fun!
    ...but the lack of excitement when he announced it was hilarious. Like 12 people clapped.

    I'm a gaming nerd and I fully embrace this aspect of myself, but I'll never be a magic the gathering card playing nerd. No thank you to WoW TCG.

    What's your point? pandaria is still a horrible Warcraft experience.

    I got a kick out of the lack of enthusiasm the crowd had. I feel trolled that I set my alarm to get up and watch the big announcement, to wake up to a card game that's "free" to play. *sigh*
