JewWario, with all due respect, if the game aspect meant nothing to you, perhaps you shouldn't waste your time conjecturing about whether the part that you don't care about is finished.

Actually I think his view is as important as anyone elses, he might not have been as interested in the ARG as the Cards but that wasn't to say he didn't like the ARG, he even said he liked the story side of it.

I know there is almost a "split" in the way people will go now, some people will continue buying the cards, but others (most likely me) won't buy the cards as they were mainly a way to support MC with the ARG, and now the ARG has gone buying them isn't likely to support it.

I wish them luck with the new kids venture and will still watch, who knows, if its cool it might even get some of us hooked

i liked the cards more then the ARG, but i always did the cards thinking that this was part of some thing bigger. all the other sub and meta puzzles (now gone).

Season 2 was getting better at bring the two sides together, the comic book cards, short stories on the backs. but they taken away all fun card thing like the bones points for full sets, ligthmarks and seeing where you where in the world rankings.

now it all feels gutted with out a story of any kind, just a lot of hard puzzle that you get nothing for solving. i hope some of you guys stay around play other games,.

i going to go cry in my crying cube now .

or i just going to play another game or work on my own stuff.

Actually JewWario's point is pretty interesting. While I'm infatuated with the game as a whole, many of my countrymen are not so much. I don't know how American this viewpoint is (as JewWario suggests it is), but several of my fFriends stateside have expressed complete lack of concern over the end of the ARG, saying "Ok, so, but the cards are still coming out? When is that happening?"

And I suppose smart toys fFor kids would be nice. So often I wander into a toy store, only to be let down by the poor quality of the store's offerings. So I guess there's that.

I've had a fFew days to mope about, and get beyond utter shock and move into general malaise, i guess you could say.

When there was $200,000 attached to PXC, I actively told other people about it (the cards, the ARG, the works) like it was the next big thing. When Season 2 was coming and there was to be no big payoff, I'd still have the ARG to talk about. (Without the treasure hunt, though, I wouldn't be the one bringing it up.) Now that there is no Prize and no ARG, I'm pretty sure I won't be telling anybody about puzzle trading cards.

Even if the people in The States (who already play) continue buying the cards, how will it ever grow from here?

Well, Unfortunately I never purchased a pack of Season 1 Cards, and only participated in the S2 teaser. I wished that they would have broke the news later than the first. Of any day to do it, that was the worst. I was completely ready for the second season to start, especially after receiving the Goodie bag for winning the "Guess the Weight of the Cube" Contest. I guess that it feels as if I've been given a backhand slap after everything that has happened.
