I just have no urge to sink any amount of money into another game. Vs will still get my money here and there for sets so I can play Sealed with my friends or at tournaments. I also think everyone will have stopped playing Vs before all the sets have sold out (I am pretty sure there are thousands of boxes still out there). So I guess what I am saying is I am sticking around to talk and play Vs with you guys until I can't find a single place or person to play with. Once this happens I will just move on to a new hobby (will probably be my motorcycle). I'm just not that sucked into the TCG/Gaming scene to give any company my money. later, Kj I mean, I understand what you're saying, but look at why you got into VS in the first place. If it was for the money, well fine... I would understand backing off, but everyone that was in just for the money has backed off already. Face it, the council will have to be REALLY strong and the community working more to keep the game going. Even the most hardened fans will have difficulty playing with the same cards over and over... part of the true joy of collectable card games is new sets and different flavors. Now, I've seen some good ideas for each (great fan-made sets that could just use a little tweaking, great new format concepts). So it could happen. But it's far more likely for an in-print card game to work. There has been one CCG that I know has truly "survived" its death. This weekend I went to Origins (I travel to Origins/Gencon every year). When I went into the CCG hall for the one card game event I played that weekend (Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Nationals, where I did well but not well enough to make final table), I ran into my old friends/teammates Alex Tennent and Kim Caton. They had traveled down from Pittsburg to Ohio, with the sole intent of spending the entire weekend playing the Star Wars CCG. The group they were playing with was no slouch either... there must have been 100+ people over there. On a game that has been dead for 7 years. Meanwhile, VS was completly unrepresented. The only VS I saw was boxes on the "dead CCGs" tables, selling from anywhere from $15 (Marvel Knights / Green Lanterns) to $35 (MEV). So I truly put my hope that VS uses this as a springboard... hell, you may find the game closer to VS than you might think. Simplified, sure, but it needed to saturate a market. And it may explain that they killed VS because Marvel did not want to share a license with DC (as happened with the video game... if you think UDE is a bad company, Marvel is one of the shadiest in existence... yet I guess that proves my point, I still read their comics and watch their movies :)). Whew, quite a tangent... my point is, at least try it openly. UDE DOES know how to produce good games, and this could be one of them, and I'd love to see some of our community back. I too fondly enjoy all the friends I have made through this game :). -Dave Edited by EvilDave, Jun 29 2009, 05:23 AM.
