There are more systems I'd like to GM more than I'd like to play, but MtA definitely isn't one of them, it falls in the same category as Tekumel. Fortunately, that's what ST Adaptations are here for. You never have to be the forever DM again :D
I see they wanted to focus on freeform play in MtA, but the oWoD system isn't good for that. I see traces of CP2013/2020 DNA in oWoD, but CP is much more subtle about its skills. From what I've seen so far, I like FATE in how it handles the freeform characters. It expects the players to use common sense to play. MtA devs simply hadn't the balls to move away from an unfit system.
As for hoarding, I think that no system is obsolete anymore thanks to AI. This is one instance where us gamers have won. Unless they pull the plug, we'll be able to play anything we want very soon. I have a pipe dream that the AI devs make RPing better, but they seem to be focused on making vibe coding a viable option instead. Dammit, just make it stop talking about Elaras, Seraphinas, Alistairs, ozone, neon, air, and let us split the souls of each character already!
