that's weird! how come its own publisher doesn't have "enough resources" for the game?
that's weird.
It's probably an outcry from the owner to receive some funding for his efforts.
People might rejoice in the expectation that no db-site will mean no netdecks, but they will be proven wrong. If anything, it will warp the meta into a "dominant deck" vs "anti-deck" environment. At least GwentDB caused a lot of diversity in netdecks. People naturally drift toward certain archetypes they prefer, and GwentDB helps mediocre deckbuilders like me to improve their archetype. If there's no "netdeck" that works for your archetype, people will keep losing to the dominant decks (like Regis) and will copy those to improve their winrate. It doesn't really take much effort to copy the list that you keep on facing. You don't need a site for that.
In any event: CDPR needs to look for a replacement. Every cardgame needs a database site to regulate the mid-tier meta. It's the tournaments that CDPR hosts that cause people to play those decks. If that's all that remains, prepare for a long winter...
