recently found out that @patyiutazza and @krel are both life long magic the gathering fans (yet another subculture)

both felt that hasbro (huge toy company) buying the rights to the game back in 1999 was clearly bad for fans

the more i’m looking at the world in this lens the more financial misalignment i see between subculture fans and traditional corporate ownership that lands on those subcultures

nouns and crypto at large should explore if long term sustainably fan aligned forms of value capture and governance is possible for these subcultures

the objective function is different from traditional c corps. it’s not maximizing shareholder profits. it’s being financially sustainable (likely modest growth for long stretches of time) while maintaining the integrity of the culture for fans. the tough part is credible and durable governance without something objective like profits as a north star.

A lot of my artist friends do tons of work for wizards of the coast and have done before the aquisition and the culture change wa quite deamatic

The rates Hasbro was paying post question were insulting and the looming threat of AI usage has been ravaging the mental health of this glorious community
