Isn't that strange?
I have never encountered a game that launched a version so different from its Beta - so different, in fact, that I would consider it a whole new different card game.
We all love and appreciate CDPR, so lets give them some testers feedback:
This new "Gwent" appears to be an online version of TB. It is far from traditional Gwent, which renders the "Homecoming" title quite out of place.
When TB was announced, I expected people to buy it out of mere curiosity and anticipation for more engagement with the Witcher world. Now, I'm afraid the bitter taste caused by this extreme change will hinder people from playing TB in the first place; the first impression of the game is associated with disappointment.
It may also appear like an attempt to ride the brand: bring a new game under the name of a current, successful one. Why not let TB run for a while and see if there's demand for an online version of it?
Let the community have two different games: online traditional Gwent, and offline Thronebreaker. Then see what happens.
