Wizards of the Coast says "While we appreciate a robust and thriving trading card game industry, we will not permit the misappropriation of our intellectual property." On May 19, 2014, Cryptozoic responded to the lawsuit that "Although we take all pending litigation seriously, we do not find any merit to the allegations in the complaint." On Sep 24, 2015, Wizards of the Coast, Cryptozoic Entertainment and Hex Entertainment settled the lawsuit with undisclosed terms. On May 14, 2014, Wizards of the Coast filed a lawsuit against Cryptozoic for infringement of intellectual property, claiming that Hex: Shards of Fate is nearly a clone of Magic: The Gathering. The game was shut down and closed permanently in December 2020. As a digital TCG, it featured unique features, such as being able to modify cards pre-match and transform cards during the match. As of May 2015, the game was available on PC in an early access phase and clients for iOS and Android were being worked on. In April 2014, the game went into Closed Beta, which included all Kickstarter backers as well as so-called "Slacker Backers", with new players being invited to join in the following months. Hex: Shards of Fate started Closed Alpha testing on October 8, 2013. The game was officially released on January 26, 2016, and was playable on Windows, OS X and iOS. As of October 28, 2013, Hex was the 11th most-funded video game on Kickstarter. It was funded via Kickstarter, and raised US$2,278,255 while its campaign was active. ![]() It is the first game in the MMOTCG genre. By September of 2015 that lawsuit had been settled out of court the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.HEX: Shards of Fate ( Hex, Hex TCG or Hex: Card Clash) was a massively multiplayer online trading card game (MMOTCG) by Cryptozoic Entertainment. The game itself has been operating in some form (beta or otherwise) for years now, though it appeared to be in trouble back in 2014 when Wizards of the Coast took Cryptozoic and Hex to court, alleging that Hex was a "clone" of Wizards' own Magic: The Gathering TCG. "Hex Entertainment and Gameforge will do their utmost to ensure that the transition will be as seamless as possible and without interruption of service." "Gameforge and Hex Entertainment have come to a mutual agreement where Hex Entertainment will again be responsible for publishing the game in addition to the development," reads an excerpt of the press release announcing the change-up. Nevertheless, those are the sorts of duties that Gameforge says it is giving over to the game's developer, Hex Entertainment. It's rare to see a publisher exit a project like Hex, which is described as an "MMOTCG" and presumably requires constant attention in terms of customer support, live operations, marketing and the like. ![]()
