I was not expecting this crossover episode! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/2022-magic-online-state-game-2021-12-15
Daybreak Games also brings decades of gaming experience and expertise to the table Yeah look how well the last card game (LON) they had turned out
It was a decently popular game while it was around but not sure it is fair to compare a digital only card game to one that is based off a physical card game.
Just because it was shut down doesn't mean it wasn't popular at one time. If I remember right they had stopped development for it at one point in time and eventually shut it down due to costs of keeping it updated. But again as I said the game stuck around for a while and was decently popular at one point in time. The popularity may have declined but that does not change what I said.
Funny how the press release fails to mention that Daybreak HAD its own MTG knock-off, and eventually ran it into the ground.
Prob didn't help that they tried to make a significantly more complicated game, where the simplified version (Hearthstone) was extremely popular instead and still getting expansions and stuff
Not to mention all the stability issues it caused as a game within a game until it got its own client.
