The average person sure doesn't understand the network of individuals it takes to make things happen, online or otherwise. And just because people are working from home does not mean they aren't still stressed out or affected by the pandemic.
Highly idiotic to suggest that anyone just work to make YOU happy. Smh.
Yes, you shouldn't want people to work at this time. Period.
I already addressed that foolish sentiment. Most MTG players don't participate in prereleases. WotC has TWO online ways to play MTG. Anyone can order the products online to do drafts or any sort of sealed format they want. Saying we shouldn't want to see spoilers when they told us we were going to see spoilers because there probably won't be a prerelease for the set is entirely stupid.
Using words like "foolish" or "stupid" doesn't do much to ingratiate yourself toward your conversational partners, let alone instill your argument with substance.
Magic players are not a monolith; there are physical card players, digital card players, and a subset of people who do both. I, personally, do not have enough data to hazard guess as to how big or narrow that central portion of the venn diagram is, and I suspect you don't either. How do you know that "most MTG players don't participate in prereleases"? What portion of the broader Magic player base are enfranchised MTGO / Arena players, and what specific strategy do you believe Wizards should employ that won't alienate physical card players at the expense of digital ones? Yes, Wizards could continue to promote the game for their online base, but that would still leave physical players out in the cold until the pandemic dies down, which at this point might not be until the next set beyond Ikoria drops.
You admitted to being a troll. In what way was that supposed to motivate me to re-engage you in meaningful conversation?
You should get worried when a troll makes more compelling points than you then. Except arguing about semantics, you haven't made any real point yet.
I have still to understand why the "there is coronavirus, we must adopt the same spoiler policy we adopted for commander 2019 and that failed!" argument works in your mind.

So many places aren't closed, i have to work from home, yet i can't ask wotc to put some pics online? A thing that they are gonna do anyway, just later?
Sure...
Psst, little reminder: they don't spoiler cards and then sell them to make me happy, they do it to make money

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
My biggest issue is that they are cramming 2 product reveals into essentially the timeframe of 1. New commander decks and a new set should be around 4 weeks of spoilers. This is why I would have assumed it would start earlier than the average spoiler season.
You are right, which is why 26 March would have made more sense as a starting point. Normally we have 2 weeks, with a week to digest, before prerelease. With the commander decks in the mix, I thought we would get the face commanders on the 26th, with some of the new cards, which are not in the boosters, over the weekend, before starting with the set spoilers on the week after.
The whole typo thing is a bit strange, I mean stuff like that happens, but the document on the site was there for over a month, with that “typo” in it and even maro thought it was still that date, when the season would start.
Thank you for replying and actually being on topic unlike the rest of this detailed thread haha.
Yeah I expected a rollout of spoilers in the same fashion: start with the commander decks and then work their way into the standard set.
I had hoped the thread would get back on track over night. Although there were a few valiant efforts to get back on track and on topic, this thread has gone every which way. Locking this thread to give people time to cool down.
