Theory11 Exposed... Again!

[Albert]

Yes, Rick knew of the Bow-to-Stern Control, and although he didn't explicitly say it to me, I am quite sure he knew of it before he came up with the variations for it. However, that's not important. What is important is the significance of crediting someone where it is due on the product page. Is that really that difficult? The fact that they knew of the Bow-to-Stern control and Cris's Blind Square before the release upsets me, especially because no "f**ks were given that day" (as my friend would put it ) regarding credits. If it is different, clearly stating that should be more than enough, while crediting someone. Rick agreed that the core principles of the move were the same and I have the message to prove it. That's more than enough to at least publicly show where the core principle came from.

Theory11 does this so that they could get more sales. If some people knew that it was just a simple variation to an old move already published, the sales won't be as high. It's a marketing tactic, which I don't agree with. Magic shouldn't be about money. It's about maintaining the secrets of the art-form, while keeping its history pure and untainted.
