    Wow. It's like they're yelling at us in desperation to buy packs. But the packs themselves don't even stand out on that redundant background.

    Yikes.

    I've seen Geocities websites looking better than this.

    Painful to read, especially the Game Pack and Stuff Pack screens. Way too loud.

    It looks like the website I made in my high school web design class in the late 90’s :#

    Thanks for this. Honestly.
    I suffer from a special sort of migraine that can turn pretty gruesome and one of my triggers are certain colors.. these colors.. and these contrasts on top of it.

    Now I know what to avoid on my PC screen :p (currently on my cell)

    Good gosh that looks horrible. Why are the colors so 🐸🐸🐸🐸 bright and saturated? Are they trying to blind people? I'm convinced that they're doing this to appeal only to children. There's no reason to make a screen that overly bright for something geared to anyone over 12.

    Wow that's terrible! I actually like the new game covers, but I have no clue why they would add them onto that background. It definitely looks like an old geocities or Angelfire website.

    I agree with you all on the color saturation, especially that bright blue that has white text on it. Its really does burn. It looks like the design was optimized for print, rather than digital. I wonder if the color choices pass WCAG guidelines for accessibility...?

    It's mostly fine until you get to the stuff pack page [OUCH!], the expansion page is also too bright. The pack logos are inconsistent and the Get Famous title image is broken. Otherwise, it's fairly normal, trendy web design despite the garish colors.

    Actually, now that I've looked at them more, the EP logos are driving me extra crazy with inconsistent lettering AND plumbob style. :s:s I no longer think they spent too much money on graphic design, haha. :D:s

    It looks very dated and cheap.

    A. "We need to appeal to more kids! Time for a rebrand!"
    B. "I know! Let's have a toddler pick the new colours!"
    A. "GENIUS. Nothing could go wrong with that!"

    That is truly devastating to the senses. I need to go lie down in a dark room now :D

    What were they thinking?

    Hey, at least it's not a bright yellow. XD

    But seriously, that dark blue font over the mid tone blue is just ah. 😣 How does one even read the words?

    Who's idea was this honestly? Marketing team you need to account for this fiasco! How many people thought this colour scheme was a good idea? web design 10/10, design degree 10/10.
