Like, I'm not dogging Titanfall. I've never played it cause I'm a PS4 guy. So I don't know. But like, there's no way they're gonna be able to sustain popularity long enough to sell more than maybe a month worth of packs during the release month of the game.
As consumers, surely people realize this, right?
Is there even room in the market for another CCG? I feel like between Magic, Pokemon, and Yugioh, the physical CCG space is pretty much accounted for. And Hearthstone dominates the digital CCG space, with Pokemon CCG and Magic Planeswalkers having respectable userbases as well.
I dunno. Maybe I don't understand the market.
Pretty sure it is a digital CCG, of which there are a ton.(I have six at least on my PC right now.) Obviously Hearthstone is a juggernaut, and won't be challenged, but there is always room for a small fan base. Or insane people like myself, who love playing card games, though I probably won't look at this one.
Same, really. The only thing that keeps me from diving into every one I see is time constraints.
There's a substantial number of niche physical CCGs that thrive in the shadows of the big 3, and before Blizzard shelved it in August of 2013 (probably with Hearthstone development well underway), the WoW CCG proved that there was room in the American market for 4 physical CCGs, being consistently competitive with the Pokemon TCG for sales in local game stores. It did lag drastically behind You're still sort of right, though, as a lot of those niche CCGs I mentioned have origins in Asian markets. Most CCGs based on more mainstream western IPs (like FPS games and things like Harry Potter) tend to flop within the first couple of years because their target demographic is the mainstream rather than at CCG addicts.
It's a mobile phone based digital CCG, though, so it's probably going to do just fine.
Cardiology would have been an ace title for this comic.
I see what you did there.
Wait.
Wait.
There's a Titanfall card game coming out?

I still wish I had a solid collection of the oldest LotR game. And I wish I still had my Jyhad cards. And my Rage cards. And someone to play my 7th Sea, Warlord, and Battletech decks against.
You got it right for the most part. Back in the day Star Wars competed with MTG fairly well. I personally like Netrunner, both the original short lived version and the current one that's doing a bit better. But MTG owns that market, much like WoW owns the MMO market, and that seems unlikely to change. Everyone else is competing for second place.
Pokemon and Yugioh, IMO, don't really count, as they are aimed a different age range. They're basically a gateway drug leading to MTG.
As others have pointed out the digital CCG field is a bit wider. Easier to get people hooked when there's little to no cash required to get started. I'm somewhat surprised that MTG never really broke into that stuff, but I guess they don't really care to.
You mean Jyhad, yes?
Edit: Oh, they changed its name to "Vampire: The Eternal Struggle" huh.
That is not a word I type on the internet. But yes, that game. It did not get the popularity it deserved.
A good game wrapped up with the worst rarity=power card design ever.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
