Well, I am of the opinion that SR3 is a good game, possiblt the best
to have emerged in the last year.
I believe thats its sales figures bear this out. Also I have played
most of the CCGs out there and still enjoy MtG the most. Go figure. My
point with Earthdawn was that it just was not going to survive beacuse
gamers were not buying it. That means they were not interested and
that the game was dead in the water. I'm pretty sure FASA could have
kept the line alive and even turned it around with enough effort.. but
they seem to have enough on their plates as it is. I strongly believe
that in this market, the good stuff sells and the bad stuff gets axed.
It has happened to countless games over the years and the good ones
are still with us. Coincidence?
