The handoff of Magic Online occurred in late 2022. 'It's just the methodical you gotta do it, do it, do it until it all works,' he says. It's the kind of work one doesn't know they have until they fix the one problem that reveals the next and the next and so on. 'It's really tough to take a piece of software - and that's such a light term for what this ism this feat of engineering - out of the company and the network and the systems that are supporting it as a digital entity under one company and putting it into another.' 'The transition definitely had its bumps,' says Magic Online Product Manager Ryan Spain. Moving the game from WotC to Daybreak, however, wasn't exactly the smoothest. Part of that is because it has new life behind it courtesy of Daybreak Games, which recently acquired the rights to the online game from WotC.
There's a lot going on with Magic: The Gathering Online, the cardboard-to-digital variant of Wizards of the Coast's venerable collectible card game.
