You apply the exact same strategy as EA does with Fifa… To name some examples:
- You script the game to …
- Your servers are awful
- You barely fix bugs unless it broke the game for too many players. Even doubt that you look into the bugs and tech. issues forum at all
- You nerve what shouldn’t be nerved
- You don’t nerve what should be nerved
- You’ve made the mechanics of the game to be as frustrating as possible for the players
- You bring out new cards from which even a blind man can see that they’re so ridiculously OP that it breaks the game and make it nearly impossible to compete if you don’t have/want to use them. Then after a month or two, after enough have ppl crafted the cards, you nerve them.
- You make the new sets to be a perfect counter the previously released set, rendering the previous set nearly unusable
- In play mode you only look at standard, but never look at the ridiculous amount of cancerous combo decks they’re causing in wild. You’ve literally only banned 1 card, stealer of souls, while there should be so many more… E.g. Ppl having decks where they’re able to play Tickatus 4x in 3 turns, taking 20 cards from your deck and inevitably removes the opponent’s deck. That makes Tickatus take over the throne from Mecha-Thun for cards that should never be in the game. That’s not even taking duels in consideration, where it’s even worse to come up against.
