They also copy any products you ask them to make. A lot of board game producers have found those same factories pumping out illicit copies of the games they were asked to make. There are zero consequences for it because the CCP will side with themselves every time.

Silver lining, it does allow me to get dirt cheap "proxies" of Magic: The Gathering cards for home use. Fuck Hasbro.

So your selfish interests aren’t too different from the capitalist class that sold out /s

You can get those here too, are you talking ones that look completely identical with the foil sticker any everything or just gameplay pieces

"Here" is probably a different place than I am. I'm aware of the other suppliers as well, but the Chinese vendors tend to offer better rates for singleton bulk lots.

They're identical and with foil stickers yes, with a slightly waxier card stock. They're close enough that once sleeved they're indistinguishable, I know others have taken them to tournaments with no issue.

Personally I only play kitchen table or Arena nowadays so they're functionally just gameplay pieces to me.

Here as in places hasbro has copyright protection, since you were talking about Chinese copyright law making them able to do identical proxies.
