Metazoo felt more shilled and promoted online by people that wanted to make quick cash rather than people actively playing in the community. Not surprised to see it fall off.
You did a great job featuring the game early on! It’s disappointing the executive mismanagement doomed it (along with weak IP, artwork, etc) but I continue to follow it just because it’s such a fascinating case study of a dying TCG.
Well said!
I can't any of your old Metazoo videos and openings - did you remove them?
Yes I did. Over a year ago.
@DrApplesauceTwo how come? :( would have been great to see the openings and cards
@@cyrax83he didn't want people to see he wasn't a credible source if he was wrong about that product what else is he wrong about?
They were never on this channel though. They were in a separate channel that’s not public anymore.
I spoke about this on my channel as well. Terrible product management , disrespecting their fan base , blocking them on discord for asking simple questions. , terrible communication ! They deserve it
I remember when you were on top of the content creating totem pole of Metazoo - seems like just yesterday. I enjoyed this video as you laid out your experiences and objective views on what Metazoo did well and what they really failed at which led to them shutting down. It was a fun ride while it lasted and perhaps in another universe, Metazoo is still striving and making waves in the TCG world 😎
I appreciate that!
You were the best metazoo content creator. Miss that. I always thought the metazoo rule book read like a Kama Sutra book.
Well thank you
I realized something was wrong with Metazoo when I saw a video saying that they need to appear to kids to go mainstream, most fans of indie things online HATE it when "normies" get into their super niche fandoms.
Well this sounds like a massive dumpster fire.
Thank you for speaking on the content creator bias. it’s obvious that they didn’t care about self sustainability or creating and cultivating a card game and community. Keep up the great work man I’ve been loving the anime content as well.
Yup exactly, and thank you!
Bye metazoo. You said it well bud’. Rest in peace 🪦
The metazoo chaos peaked my interest. Started picking up product recently to rip now that boxes are way under mrsp. Not financial advise though
It’s so cheap right now if you’re buying for fun you literally can’t lose.
@@DrApplesauceTwo thx sause! Feels good doin gods work by helping people unload their collections
I know there are lot of passion in the community, but passion is bad for rational decision. This game had weird collabs and was involved with unsavory things. Anything involved with Steve Aoki should be a red flag. When you see the content and the only content is mostly finance related, this should be everyone's red flag. Even for people who say they love it, I rarely see real gameplay showcase, dech tech, and so on.
Lot of good TCGs fail. This one didn't look like one from the start.
Heard from a friend of a friend they were laundering money.
It's really unfortunate what happened to MetaZoo. I never got into the game but I knew a lot of people really loved it. The main game I play is Digimon and I absolutely love it! Incredibly fun, and from the same people who made the One Piece TCG (Bandai) I do think that OP is taking up a majority of Bandai's time these days, but Digimon is still a great card game with a dedicated fan base!
I made it all the way here!
You a real one!
Excuse me I’m aware it’s been quite some time, I’m attempting at least to write an essay on Metazoo but alot about the later years of it remain seemingly speculative. Near the end of your video you stated you “to everyone I made connections with” do you mind if we set up a discord call / phone call anything you’d feel comfortable with where you help me get in contact with these connections? If you can’t that’s perfectly fine, thank you for keeping a glimmer of positivity in your final comments on the game. A trait seemingly rare in these sorts of videos
Sucks.. im out $10,000 investing in MZ. Im so disappointed in Mike and the leadership.
Good lord why would you put $10,000 into an indie TCG and not watch it like a hawk. I’m so sorry.
I slowly invested it over a couple years. Was planning on selling most on a 5-10 year plan. I also hold a large pokemon position@@DrApplesauceTwo
Oh man, that 10k did helped pay for my lambo, thanks!
I live on long island and we have a ton of gaming shops and no one was ever playing and I never saw events. Merazoo seemed like it was collected just for the sake of collecting it. I feel it needed a cartoon. I know they had a comic but people like a story line with a game.
it's literally a physical NFT lmao.
zero gameplay promos but 100% 100X ROI profit shill - on a freaking new IP might I add.
scalpers selling them KS boxes for 7 figures on eBay during the 1st month of release should tell you everything.
Remember This guy tried to sell you this product that anyone with a brain knew it wasn't gonna do well.
Who ever bought into this maybe next time if there is a Big group of people saying don't buy this scam MAYBE do some research and trust them because in the end these TH-camrs look out only for Numero uno nobody else
Edit: YOU SERIOUSLY deleted all your metazoo crap promoting the product misleading people. I can't believe this 💩 you are something else
I made the videos private well over a year ago, cause I didn’t want them populating in my Algorithm. I was 100% upfront this whole video that I used to love metazoo and was a big collector. Nothing but transparency here
This whole situation is a lesson on how not to run your business. Very sad news for all the employees who are impacted.
agreed
True they cocky but a lot, thought they could control the collectors and players we told them it was too much on the cards but they would not lessen
You were pumping it in the beginning pearpod.
Yes. It’s almost like you didn’t actually watch the video and hear me say I was a huge advocate for it and genuinely loved it at the beginning, rather you just decided to leave a silly comment without knowing what you’re talking about 😂
This was completely obvious from day one. I told you it was going to happen (remember). The sad truth is that the paid pumpers, big time breakers, and opportunistic sellers of this 💩sucked a lot of people in with their hype, benefiting themselves in the process. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, just reminding people that it's just printed on cardboard, and when the fan boys and cheerleaders move on, most of it won't be worthy of lining your bird cage bottom with.
its a darn shame, i was really a fan of the actual cards and the artists, not so much metazoo mike. i still got my cryptid nation 1st edition box that i'll hang onto for remembrance of the good old days. ill admit i am buying a few of the sets/cards that i really like on ebay because i wanna keep them in my personal collection
As do I! And a few nightfall boxes and a holo sample
But lorcanna is still ganna be the product that kills pokemon right? Lol
😂😂
I went to roswell also and met you and played beside if you. I wish we would have gotten a promo for going foe sure. I definitely can guess the streamer who got the promo packs to sell. 😂
Hahahaha. Yea it was interesting for sure.
I think most new Kickstarter TCGs will fail including Kryptik, Alpha Clash, and even Sorcery (even with Rudy fully backing it)
I think Kryptik has a great chance since the gameplay is top tier
but if you keep those boxes and somehow it comes back in 10 years sheeeeshhh
Also true I suppose, but unlikely lol
Flesh and blood recently sent a lot of contact creator to New Zealand to play the new set early and steamed the event. Their doing something right over there.
I watched the whole video all the way through 🙂
Let’s gooooo
perfect video to sum it all up pg13 style :)
Hahahaha I tried! Wanted to be fair and kind too.
I bet you’ve never played the game… the game is not that hard to understand maybe it’s you ❤
He was a big supporter for the game
@@deana6072 I remember….
@@TrunksFunk crazy he deleted his videos 🤭 I wonder why
This tiny pecker weirdo is always shilling for Metazoo.LOL
@@deana6072 crybaby’s.. play the game or shut up lol
Sigh... Waste of Potential, and the only TCG I knew still using physical Artwork... Though Chronicles of Arcane lookin kinda nice with that Magic/YuGiOh feeling...
Cuz todays Fully Digital Full art PoKeMoN..🤢🙅♂
🃏
Good video positive feedback 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Rudy!
He was baffled lol.
@@DrApplesauceTwo Is he ok?
I’m sure he’s fine
🙂💟🙏🏻
As if your weren’t a shill for MetaZoo yourself 🤣
You realize I started this video saying I was a huge fan and supporter of metazoo right? 😂
God doesn't love me
Yea, he does.
Are you wearing makeup?
Nope
Pokemon is just too saturated and boring. Its all just a bunch of pumper resellers trying to get views online. Its like buying a Tesla just cuz its the cool thing to do lol. 🥱🥱🥱 Anyways, enjoyed your vids back in the day.
Its all about money with pokemon alot of fakeness with them ppl all they care about is how much they are making and flipping online lol 😅
