[QUOTE="ShadowDenizen, post: 3397573, member: 16485"] This is all just my antecdotal experiences, so take it with a grain of salt... Becaause I really don't even give WizKids any thought anymore; I'm sure their SW game will sell passably, but it won't change my general opinion of the company or get me to play their version of SW. I've moved away from WizKids products slowly but surely over the years, for a number of reasons. (Sure, company decisions factored in to a degree, but mainly it's that my tastes have changed over the last few years.) When MageKnight first came out? I was [i]seriously[/i] hooked, to the tune of hundreds of dollars. (Actually, it was probably cosidferably more than that, all told.) Then, they largely invalidated all the pre-exisiting figures with the new upgrade, and I stopped buying. (COntinued playing for a short time afterwards, but eventually gave up.) Then came HeroClix; again, I was hooked, to the tune of hundreds of dollars and multiple expansions. But again, I became dissatsified (The Marvel love over DC, the (IME) uneven distribution, the cycling out of old sets, and the continous revamps of characters.) Sure, it's apparently a natural progression, but there's other things I can spend my money on without feeling the need to "Keep Up". And then came BSG. A show I love; how could they miss the mark with the CCG? But apparently they did. I bought a starter and maybe 20 boosters, and realized that it just wasn't for me. The game didn't flow smoothly, the mechanics were clumsy and uninituitve, and there was relatively few people playing it (and I live in Boston, where there's quite a number of game shops within a short distance!). And I never really had an interest in any of the Pirates games, or HorrorClix. ("Slasher"? "Werewolf?" "Clown"? Really? Was it not possible to get Cthulhu figs licensed?) Their forums? I gave up on them long ago, before this "moderation" truly started, so I can't accurately comment on that particular issue. [/QUOTE]
