This just makes me sick.

Konami is a manifestation of evil - no different than bedbugs - so it's unfortunate that their business practices are warranting such profits. I boycott Konami due to their horrendous treatment of employees, both current and former, as well as their exploitation of legal loopholes and hope that others do the same.

I don't think my heart can ever unbreak after dangling PT in front of my face and then Nakamuraing me in the balls

A lot of that revenue comes from gambling machines, right? (Slots, pachinko, etc.)

It still confounds me that a card game with such bad mechanics, very little flavor, predatory ban and errata policies, and obviously minuscule playtesting can be so popular.

Have you seen YGO players? Theyre a salesmans dream come true.

This is mainly pachinko revenue tho.

I see them every Friday, and yeah, they are. Its kinda odd that theres such a socioeconomic and cultural divide between YGO and MTG even though the price is similar between them.
