i thought tcg just had a huge resurgence in players? it wasn't exactly a niche hobby in the oughts either... unless you're from an earlier timeline in which case, congrats! a ton more people are gonna get into tcg!
=oXO i don,t really have any niche interests but this is such a lovely question and i wanted you to know that and it,s really nice reading the replies¡ thank you for asking it¡ =oXO
it... used to be niche. its not now, for the wrong reasons. if anything, playing it feels niche...
sigh...
oh so you're pretentious about it. not negatively? i think??? i dunno i have pretentious feelings about films but I also don't really mind if people who don't Get It watch what I like, it gives me something to chew on later. does it really bother you? that other people are playing it? or does it bother you that it feels like a cashgrab from a corporate entity?
think financebro culture and market hustling. thats the current situation of it, hence all the scalping... i cant go five seconds without someone pointing at a card of mine telling me the exact numeric value of its worth while ignoring all of the cool stuff behind it.
sounds like you're just hanging out in the wrong circles, man. you gotta look for your likeminded people, like folks playing at gameshops and tourneys and shit.
its everywhere. its... its genuinely endemic. of course, thats not a problem anymore, since playing the game blew it all up now.
