Really enjoyed this (half) episode. The legal perspective was especially useful. I really had no idea of the actual legal framework that would govern this issue. It does seem to me that they went “We came up with all these awesome features, let’s apply them to Magic and call it a game!” so my first thought was that this was a no-brainer.
Good episode. Really informative. I’ll be curious how this turns out. Pretty bad that I get nostalgia from as game I’ve never played.
