This is a pretty greedy ICO, have you guys read the whitepaper? Like some real fucking greed.
If you look at steam and any Indy game, they can develop this shit for 500k USD through a go-fund-me. But instead, we have these greedy cunts asking nearly 80-100million dollars in investment for some pictures and data on a blockchain. Let me rephrase, they valued their creation here at over 80million dollars!
Let me give you an example of what 100million dollar game is:
The most Costly game ever made was, GTAV, it cost nearly $250 Million
The 5th most costly game ever made was Destiny roughly $140 Million
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_developThese are AAA games with hundreds/thousands (when you factor in ever little asset or supplier that had their hand in the game) of people working on them, through multi-billion dollar studios.
You think you guys can actually compete with Hearthstone or even pokemon? No, those are highly developed and highly integrated into the very fabric of our society. Those are characters that have brewed in minds for decades. Billions were spent on marketing, but through giant distributors who didn't focus soley on that asset of "cards", but had the ability to market it through a world-renown brand names such as Activision/Blizzard or Nintendo and they made profits by being already-established through the channels already made with other giant successes. Essentially, they had the capital and reputation through games like mario or warcraft to help promote and create new entities.
What we have here is a get-rich-quick scam ICO, with poor poor artwork designs on the cards.
i quote
"it fails entirely on card ownership - cards cannot be traded, so player collections
have no value, and will never have value."
This actually has no significant meaning to anyone. No one actually cares if they own the hearthstone cards, because when you login and you play the game, you have fun playing and you FEEL like you have ownership over those cards.
Basically, you guys are saying here is a couple drawings we made in 2-3 months, you can have this PUBLIC ID associated with the card and yeah it's 100% yours, but does that truly matter when you play a game, fuck no. Video game's are entertainment, not investments. Would you like to own Mario? Fuck yeah, but guess what, it took billions of dollars to make Mario... Mario.
This isn't Entropia Universe either, this is fucking cards with some shitty drawn artwork. -

Scam ico is a scam
Edit: Also, you listed Blizzard as #1 competitor, which is incorrect. Your #1 competitor is actually Ubisoft - Might & Magic Duel of Champions, and you're second competitor would be Elder Scrolls Legends. Both of these card games have very similar themes to your cards. Hearthstone is directly fantasy and doesn't incorporate any mythology/medieval theme based cards, might and magic and elder scrolls do.
Feels bad when potential investors knows more about the field you work in, then you actually do yourself.
