    Mike was an ideas guy, he was wanting to do so much with the IP (imitating Pokemon really) but failed to ensure they had a good foundation to build from.

      Everyone is an ideas guy. Real skill is to deliver that idea to the world. He delivered a product, but from my own impressions MetaZoo didn't seem to have a lot of quality control/vigorous playtesting. MetaZoo seems like one of those ideas by people that couldn't execute the hardest parts. Mainly that foundation. Which requires vision beyond just ideas.

    I remember watching that podcast, it’s like MetaZoo ran their discord as a totalitarian state.
    Shame on the people running the company, they must have known the game wouldn’t last in 2024 but acted as if everything would be ok completely burning their fans/players.

    • @RensCollectibles
      @RensCollectibles  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That's exactly what they did. Very recently, they even posted their road map in 2024 on how to get back on track. They tricked everyone.

      I was banned for agreeing with someone who said trump won and should be president. I say "i agree". Then i was instantly banned. They banned people who did not align politically with them. The biggest mistake an upcoming "ip" can do is not being politically neutral. They must remain neutral to maximize the customer base. They failed basic common sense.

    Metazoo IP is worthless, Cryptids aren't that popular to begin with and they are all in the public domain. If someone wanted to make a cryptid TCG they would be better off making up their own IP.
    There is a cartoon called the Secret Saturdays, it was about cryptids, but they also made up a bunch of original cryptids so they actually have something to copyright.

    • @RensCollectibles
