I think alot of it stems from card gamers who have never played RPG's, and
then try to start RPG's. A CCG's goal (Most of them.) is to kill the
opponent(s) as fast as possible, with any means nessesary. (Red fireball
decks, anyone?). A RPG has so much more depth than most card games, and
most card gamers have a bitch of a time adjusting. I know some people who
play both and do well at each of them, but I know alot of people who play
M:TG and can't grasp Shadowrun..
Then again, I know a few people who play AD&D and can't grasp Shadowrun. <g>

Who is glad the gaming store owner is cutting back on CCG's and stocking
more SR.
