[QUOTE="Orius, post: 2490273, member: 8863"] I can't really say I'm all that sorry about Decipher tanking if that's the case. To be honest, I can't believe they managed to ride the CCG fad this long. How their Star Trek CCG managed to survive is the biggest question. I know that many people who bought were collectors rather than players (because let's face it, gameplay, at least in the early game, sucked ass) but I find it hard to belive collectors are still shelling money into the game (but strange things do happen). I've heard the game really started to improve once they expanded it beyond TNG, but I remember how the game was fairly boring when it first came out, and how legal problems with Paramount tied up the earliest expansions. Star Wars was a better game, but I stopped buying it around the time they were releasing material based on Jedi, because I finally manage to break that nasty CCG habit. Both however suffered from having cards that were rare to appeal to collectors. This was worse in Star Trek, were most of the time you ended up playing with mooks no one cared about. Star Wars did have common versions of some of the main characters, but most of them were pretty weak. [/QUOTE]
