Started off strong – The Elder Scrolls: Legends CCG Review

When the game first released, i was pleasantly surprised. I played a lot of MTG, though I didn’t enjoy Hearthstone because of the restrictive aspects of cards being online, though I found a way to enjoy Legends regardless. It definitely had heavy premium aspects, but I was enjoying it so it was ok throwing a few dollars at it here and there. Though, I do notice that, to stay competitive with new set releases, you have to continue to pay, and i have also noticed that they are making stories and packs more and more expensive. I tried playing the game without spending money for awhile. The game drags, with hardly any rewards even if you are successful in competitive play. I don't care how “great” the story is, if I have to shovel $20 up each time, it is money better spent elsewhere. I don't care how solid the game is, If I I have to throw more money for pack to be competitive, I can fine at least 10 games, just on the apple store that have almost as solid gameplay that don't have pay to win aspects.. I have been a fan of Bethesda and the Elder Scrolls universe since Morrowind. I purchased Skyrim on 3 separate devices, 4 different times (one being the special edition). I feel like I (and many others like me) have paid our dues and deserve a solid product that doesn’t rely on premium tactics like this to stay afloat. That is not the Bethesda I know. Its sad to see AAA companies and indie devs alike angling more and more in this direction. It kills me, because I really like Bethesda and want to support them, but I cant support a company that values money over content. The community is slowly wising up to this new was of business inside of the gaming world, and it wont be long until there is no patience for it. Enjoy your cash whales Bethesda, because I refuse to be one of them..
