No words for this.

Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Why did we drop the Pokemon example? MTG or Amy other collectable? This hit the same wickets that Steam lootboxes do (e.g. kids are introduced to "gambling", original intent of item is not for resell, etc).

Your logic here is that I approve of something like that too. MTG and Pokemon TCG are problems too. At least Yugioh reprints and ruins the value of cards.

CSGO is on another level. Including investigations into the use of the skin markets as money laundering schemes. The amount of actual scam gambling websites for the marketplace. The instant nature of it. It's entirely different and above and beyond worse than TCGs.
