I'm gonna be honest... I don't care what the artist did because it has nothing to do with the specific card art variant in question. If its a big deal, just don't give the artist credit in the card information in the game. Who cares. But to just not consult the players at all and just choose to do this rug pull? Nobody should give Second Dinner their money anymore. They proved that they can remove or change anything you purchased for any reason. Imagine buying a Mustang and then the dealership stops by later that week and replaces it with a Ford Focus without caring at all about what you want.
That’s a false equivalency. A better analogy would be like buying a car w a specific decal or a paint job, but then the painter went to jail so they needed someone else
Second Dinner has made it clear they are running a business, they suddenly have a sprout of morality and took a stance, alright but remember you are a business and there's some responsibilities attached to that.
This game is the epitome of "give us your money and don't think too much about it". Seriously, everything you buy can and probably will be nerfed or altered so it can be easily replaced by new stuff. If you STILL throw away money in this game, even after this Gambit fiasco, you should really reconsider your thought process
I did work for Marvel at that time the artist was fired. It was a big deal. He was not only fired, but the editor of the Xmen office was also fired for not catching the antisemitic images that were in the book. The fact that it got through the process at Snap is pretty pathetic. They probably got a very angry phone call from Bill Roseman the VP of games at Marvel about it.
Second Dinner just announced the are compensating purchasers 8000 Gold. They said they realize now people value different parts of bundles differently. While I still don’t think they should have removed the art at all, kudos to them for rethinking.
Ya I was pissed. I bought that bundle for that variant alone. The thing with the artist happened 7 YEARS AGO! Who cares? Has nothing to do with that piece of art. I heard they are giving everyone who got it 1200 gold😂🙄 ya that makes up for it. Better than nothing I guess.
iirc that’s cuz he was just a discord mod who had no real community manager experienced. He just helped run the discord before it became the official snap one

Why?!?! Thats nowhere near the cost of 100 bucks. And people only get those bundles for the variants. They should get a full refund and get to keep the other assets they got just because Second Dinner is the one who fucked up and they are the ones who should be generously trying to set things right.
