You now realize that MTGO sucks, and any 'replacement' will be suboptimal because WOTC realizes that if they make it too good, significantly more of their neckbeard playerbase will ditch the brick and mortar game for the convenience of staying home. And, they realize they are leagues behind competition in the digital realm due to MTGO sucking so much for so long so they can't compete well there, either. It's really quite the awkward position.
You now realize that MTGO sucks...
You realize they would be ok with that right? They make more money from MTGO than brick and mortar anyways.

This is the probably one of the dumbest memes on Veeky Forums. If this would be true YGO would be dead years ago. YGO has besides their own games with YGOpro a fully fletched free simulator out there and the Saturdays at my LGS are still full with players.

Yeah, but Yu Gi Oh is a fun game to play, and cheap meme/pet decks can do well at local events. Magic is a boring game to play, and sharks are always grinding tier one decks at local events for points and prizes.

Pokemon has a full fledged f2p online version of the game that rewards you for actually buying the physical cards but does not force you, despite being quite grindy.
