Upper Deck Entertainment was one of the first companies to jump on board of the World of Warcraft band wagon, and now it is also going to be one of the first to leave it. According to ManaNation, a Magic: The Gathering site, Upper Deck Entertainment and Blizzard have split. Fear not, like so many of my high school relationships it was a mutual, or "amicable" in business terms.
ManaNation's sources could not locate the exact reasoning for the split, but the website assumes it has something to do with Upper Deck's recent legal troubles. The card company has had not one, but two foul ups recently. The first over another licensed card game, the ever popular Yu-Gi-Oh from Konami, and a more recent tiff with one of the company's longest-standing partners, Major League Baseball.
Blizzard's disembodied head hit the official forums shortly after the news broke to clear the air. Zarhym is quick to point out that although the rumor is true, Blizzard is not going to let the game die.
