Yeah, I know.  The CCG crashed and burned because there was too long of a 
time frame with no new products.  The problem with both CCGs and RPGs is that 
the average player loves to spend their money.  This is not a problem when 
you are putting out products in a timely fashion.  However, if you go too 
long without anything new, they suddenly have this extra money that was set 
aside in expectation that has instead gone unspent.  They may wait a bit 
before spending it, but they won't wait long.  The craving to open packs of 
cards or flip through the pages of a new book just becomes overwhelming.  So 
if there is nothing new to buy, they have a tendency to try a new product 
line.  Often times that leads them to forget about the previous product line 
and instead to swap mindsets to the new game.  The main fear I have about the 
RPG is that this will happen as well.  CCG and RPG fans typically are always 
wanting to try something new, and things like this provide perfect excuses.  
I just hope Cybergames relizes that the longer they wait, the more interest 
dwindles.  I am sure they have already lost a large percentage of their 
customer base.
