Pinkertons - Tumblr Posts

2 years ago

And for those of you that still want to play the game but your only resource is online, might I kindly nudge you in the direction of Cockatrice?

Cockatrice is a COMPLETELY FREE MtG card database and open-source multiplatform that let's you use every card ever printed to build and play any deck you can imagine. It has nothing to do with wotc, and frankly it's completely replaced my Arena account. Why not check it out while you strangle these bastards with a lack of profit?

#NoMagicMay

I watched the Professor chatting with someone else about the Pinkerton thing.

One thing they expressed was that there was no way to act in an immediate way that influences sales number to send a message to Wizards. Like with the DnD stuff recently people could cancel DnDBeyond to send a message and that did something.

I think Magic players do have a medium to send a message. The medium is online play. We should blanket boycott all Magic apps, especially MODO and especially Arena for at least 30 days. They can't take back what has happened but we can send a message that they will feel. I think we should also throw FNM and all physical sales including the secondary market in as well, but digital play is big and more immediate.

This is unacceptable though I don't expect players to stay away forever. A month long boycott for the entirety of May would send a strong message and make them reconsider how they handle future leaks. Backed up with plenty of emails and public messages to say this is why it's happening.

If you agree and want Wizards to know it then I humbly suggest you spread this. Encourage your friends. Encourage content creators. Reach out to big Magic influencer and let them know you're participating in #NoMagicMay and would like them to join.
