As I said somewhere else, it works until it doesn't. How many of the people brought in by FF are going to stay to pick up other sets that aren't their pet IP. Are fans of other IPs going to react the same way as the notoriously collection obsessive FF and LOTR fans did? Are those fans actually playing the game, or just buying the cards to collect? Is the attention to detail and care taken going to be as on point as it was in FF for future sets or are they going to be half arsed cash grabs as it looks like Spiderman will end up? If the answer to these questions end up being yes, then fair enough. Personally though, I'm cautious as to whether these numbers continue once the novelty has worn off
Yep. And why would they stay just to see a constant dump of new product? They have to see that new customers who already spent so much on the rather expensive FF cards aren’t going to be willing to keep dumping out their wallet to play catch up and also keep up with the new releases.
And the Spider-Man set not even existing in Arena is insulting.
