@afonsopato@Ellendarii@godmitzu Holy shit you are an actual retard. ๐ I never said that I'm upset about someone opening a card. How is that what you get out of my comments? Rip it up, I don't care. Goddamn, you're on like a lower plane of consciousness.
@afonsopato@Ellendarii@godmitzu Why the fuck do you retards think I'm taking issue with what Momo did? Why are you so defensive? Is this website for utter simpletons that can't have a barely nuanced dialog without getting overly defensive over any perceived slight against their para social idol relationship?
@jezzy01@MA_Sana97 How do you think Sixteen was produced? How do you think they funded their debut Ooh Ahh at the cost of $400,000+ USD plus salaries/operation cost for the entire company? This is not happening by selling some clothes you silly child.
@jezzy01@MA_Sana97 The girls are not funding themselves by selling old clothes. It was for a show. Are you five? Do you not understand money?
This show is from AFTER DEBUT anyway. this is AFTER they were already successful and popular (they were popular even predebut anyway).
@Vx1ty@Ellendarii@godmitzu That's... not even remotely what happened. No wonder you're upset, you have the reading comprehension of a retarded 1st grader. No one's criticizing your precious idol, get over it.
@Ellendarii@godmitzu You clearly have ZERO understanding of economics and have a very small brain.
No one said a vault contains all the cards. That doesn't mean that reducing the supply doesn't reduce the supply. Everything adds up. Your argument is you can't fill a pool drop by drop. Braindead.
@_BlueLux@Ellendarii@godmitzu That's to avoid reselling the SEALED PRODUCTS at inflated values. That has no effect on the value of the actual cards once opened. They want to avoid scalpers holding on to UNOPENED PACKS. That has nothing to do with reprints. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
@Vx1ty@Ellendarii@godmitzu Why are you so upset? I didn't say anything about Momo or what she could or couldn't do. I'm responding to other people's comments. If it was common sense, why do so many people seem to get upset and disagree/argue?
@Ellendarii@godmitzu "cracking open a graded thing"
Reduces supply, increases value of remaining supply. Perfect for "collector culture"
"On top of this, its getting people talking which is the real trick here~"
That also contributes to collector culture, increasing value.
Think before you speak.
@Ellendarii@godmitzu ๐
Not doing exactly what collectors want and paying hundreds of dollars to a collector for their collected graded card would "fly in the face of collector culture" a little better, don't ya think?
@_BlueLux@Ellendarii@godmitzu My market? How did any of what I said make you think I care about the market? I'm explaining to you how it only exists to print money for corps.
They reprint cards to cash in on the inflated value, drawing people in who were otherwise pushed out by the initial scarcity. Win-win.
@trustnopie@Ellendarii@godmitzu The concept is to allow corporations a legal loophole to get children addicted to gambling and buying worthless cardboard at exorbitant prices to make absurd profits. Same deal with all these surprise blind box toys.
The game is just the hook to keep them invested.
@Ellendarii@godmitzu What a dumb thing to say then the entire concept of a CCG is to artificially inflate value. And she was the one who decided to buy something that had a higher "perceived monetary value" in the first place.
