A Note on Supporting Multiple Games on Out of Cards

Even if it weren't possible to fully customise the user experience it would probably be a good idea for OOC to branch out into other (online) card games. As it stands, I don't see any downsides: There's obviously a lot …

New Update???

The green glow around the arena just signifies there's a special event going on, namely dual class arena-ing. It's there every time you enter the main screen.

I assume the update was a bugfix of some kind.

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Issues Statement on Grandmasters China Controversy

He didn't break any rule that Blizzard has been able to cite so far. The only thing they have pointed towards is a catchall clause in the contract that allows blizzard to dismiss any player for pretty much any reason, …

Quote From MurlocAggroB

Don't be ridiculous. China censorship does not care about sexualized characters or gore. Have you seen Chinese games? They changed Secretkeeper because it was literally an ass, and that's dumb. Why do you think …

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Issues Statement on Grandmasters China Controversy

Exactly. What they should have done is change the rules going forward, adding a specific rule against political statements, and maybe, MAYBE give blitzchung a warning. After all, he broke no rule that Blizzard can cite beyond the "we can …

[Doom in the Tomb] Locked and Loaded - how to play it?
Quote From frenzy

Hi

Anyone able to explain how to use Lock and Load well? Seems like quite a risky card. You need a lot of mana and luck to wait out for some RNG? And you …

but then why do they have china-only card art version for stuff like Skeletons?

If it was only a chinese issue they would have just given the chinese versions different artwork.

Or, more likely, they waited or were told to hold off reacting the exact same way because they saw all of the reactions they were seeing from the community, inside and out.

Blitchung kicked out of GM
Quote From RavenSunHS

Brack, in his post (in the news), mentions "rules" that Blitzchung agreed to upon participation.

And inconsistency of rule application does not imply the rule is wrong, nor that ALL its applications are wrong.

There is no "no politics" rule that blizzard can cite, or they would've. It's why the statement by Blizzard's …

Still, Blitzchung and the two casters deserved an appropriate reaction.

Why? Because they broke the "rules"? Again, and for the last time, the rule they cited is a catchall clause that can …

Blizzard is obviously operating by a PR&legal playbook. You see the same kinds of common themes in the statement by Blizzard's president and Blitzchung.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of (re)negotion took place and these …

If nothing else, I take an immense amount of schadenfreude from the fact that the stated reason for banning Blitzchung ("distracting people from the game") has backfired spectacularly, and now the twitch chat in GM is just wall-to-wall political commentary.
