This is a quote from The Ferret's interview of Randy Buehler, posted on www.starcitygames.com yesterday:
"Keep in mind that the portion of the audience that plays to win, period, is actually quite small. Something like 90% of our audience cares more about winning in a cool way, or in some cases just having fun playing regardless of the outcome."
I don't get it.
I always play to win. In fact, what is the point of playing any game if you aren't playing to win?
Play to lose?
Play to tie?
And I most certainly find winning to be quite fun, and a helluva lot more fun then loosing or drawing, which just pisses me off (Especially drawing. You can't help but think you could have/should have won.)
And what is the definition of "winning in a cool way"?
I personally think that winning with Squandered Resources and Cadaverous Bloom is pretty cool.
So is winning with a hoard of weennies, or with Enduring Renewal/Goblin Bombardment/ 0cc Creature.
Does he mean "They like to win with Goblin Game." or "They want to break Pale Moon"?
Is it true that 90% of you don't care?
...maybe I'm reading too much into this.
...maybe I should get back to work.
