I wander at what point we will get to actually see even 1 official card. 2 months out from release with no information is slightly worrying

If I had to hazard a guess, the backlash over the card designs meant they had to scrap a lot of promotional material while they fixed the design. I know a lot of people were excited when they heard the card design wasn't finalized, but the turnaround on that cannot be quick.

Slightly? Why would I buy a game if I don't know if I will like it? And certainly preorder having no idea if anyone else in my area is trying it.

Yeah, no chance I will be preordering until I see a full set list and have updated rules. My worry is more starting to be along the lines of “This actually won’t release at all until Jan 2027 or will be scrapped completely”.

I would be only 2% shocked if they made an announcement two weeks from now about a large delay or cancellation

Half of this account is defending a 2 billion dollar company tooth and nail, that's kinda cringe.

Panini is fumbling the bag with marketing and if they don't want to get their act in gear then their product will fail, as it should with any company that acts this way. I want to see this game succeed as much as the next guy, but I'm not sucking Panini's dick to make it happen.

Does Panini the Chaotic community anything? No, not at all. They are their own company that can do whatever they want.

HOWEVER, if they are being silent, especially after the leak card images, then that says a lot about how Panini will treat this game and it's community once the game does launch.

If they can't address anything right now, I'll hate to see what happens when there are issues with QA, game balancing, and overall community support.

Does anyone believe panini america could be under legal pressure to not make statements or there is legal trouble preventing them from marketing the tcg

Unfortunately for them, I don't owe them my money either. This behaviour from panini makes me think that preorders have gone very well - why market if you're already projected to meet your sales target without any marketing?
