I have always wondered, why does the UI on the PC insist on using right clicks to zoom in on the cards in the collection screen and emoting?

I started playing the game on an iPad, and whenever I play it on the PC, I always try to left click before remembering that noooo, on ye olde PC thou shalt right clicke! Why don't both buttons work for zooming in on cards and emoting? Note that left clicking does zoom in on cards in crafting mode, but doesn't when you're simply browsing the collection.

Left click is "add to deck" and we didn't want to change the function of left click depending on whether your deck is open or not.

There's several screenshots of it in the talk, if you haven't seen it yet.

It's a really good talk. But why are you reposting old articles, Ben? :P

Well, it's a new article about an old video. :)

But mostly I just was hoping to give it some more exposure since Derek is awesome.

So, Mr Brode, do you really hate that picture that much? The one at 13.04.

Yes
