Why is this game so bad compared to all the competitors on the market? If the developers have no motivation to do a good job and no way to hire good people to make a great game, what's it all for? Why should players put up with it? If you need an incentive to make the game better, then put your stupid microtransactions in the game and make money already!!!!. Why does the game break with every patch? Why do trivial things that were in the old game have to wait 3 years? Why couldn't they make a game with microtransactions to make money? Why did the money go to Pocket? I know why, because you can make money there, that's why they invested in development to make it good. But it's too casual and simple, and it's not on PC, which makes me not want to go there. And all I have is a game that hates its players, that takes 3 years to realize it needs to be shut down and started from the beginning to avoid childish problems when everything breaks! Just today I read thousands and thousands of comments of hate and misunderstanding after the last patch, about people leaving to play Pocket because it's reliable, or other games because they're sick of putting up with it. It's sad. A game based on the most profitable and well-known franchise in the world doesn't have the budget or experience to be good. It has huge potential to be one of the best card games in history, but without a budget and good experts we won't get that. I don't know how much longer I can put up with this. 3 years of waiting for a game without vpn but I didn't wait for that, two modes, one of which is still in beta and forgotten about, technical issues, visually everything is bad and pixelated, patches breaking the game right before tournaments, it's scary. If nothing changes for the better this year, apparently I will have to leave it for good like other players.
