I don’t think I actually wrapped up the point I was trying to make here. What I’m getting at is, while I understand the argument that we don’t know enough about these upcoming products to dislike them yet, I think it’s fair to dislike a premise or concept by itself, especially if similar concepts have set worrying precedents. It’s hard for me to imagine what Wizards could do to change my mind about “Universes Beyond” products, for example, because the whole idea seems, to me at least, to be an ill-fitting cash grab.
Who knows, maybe in a year or two I’ll be eating those words. It’ll be great if I do. If Wizards has something hidden up their sleeve that might change my mind, I wish they’d reveal it now rather than let my skepticism simmer for a few more months.
