Konami's response will be "Don't let the door hit you on the way out"
As long as they are still making money, they will not care.

Competitive Yugioh isnt the lifeblood of the game. Its attracting casuals through anime and better value packs/products. 99% of people dont care that these top players dont make a living off Yugioh

[alialluaibi]

Talk about the Yugioh runner who won an Olympic gold medal !

[jurassictyrantkingYT]

I think playing at locals is better than playing at the Championships.

[thedevilofparadis]

Hence why I only play on simulators like edopro. I ain't going into bankruptcy over a card game.

2024 is gonna go down as one of the most comically bad years of this games history. Painfully boring tier 0 snake eye formats only being countered by decks like tenpai who want to play as little ygo as possible, no European events for the first half of the year with no explanation or reason as to why, 1000$ meta decks, and of course the constant slew of pro players either quitting/retiring from the game or at least competitive ygo or going to other games. Of course it’s all temporary and won’t be like this forever but MAN this year is only half way done but it’s been a rough one for ygo

[osirisygo]

People been talking about it for awhile but just get called bad but now a pro player talks about the game, now everyone agrees all of a sudden .

Here's the thing with power creep and card design: They don't have to be one and the same.

You don't have to make cards SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than the last to get people to buy them. They just have to do something DIFFERENT so the game doesn't get stale. You don't have to make another negate to add to an ever growing pool of negates.

However, Konami is creatively bankrupt since they created a Fiendsmith Fusion that has a RIDICULOUS negate effect even among negate effects.

Someone just won a 30k prize card playing Lorcana this past weekend, Konami can make exclusives that makes these events worth traveling too but they haven't. Nobody wants a Nintendo switch and crappy vanilla prize card. As much as i love this game, it isnt worth it for me to spend tons of money traveling to play in big events.

[jojomations]

All the good players leaving will feel like a breath of fresh air for those wanting to top

[KumaSelf]

I haven't played Yugioh a month and have moved my time to playing Tekken. It has made me so much happier and my wallet too. Fucck Konami and I will not support them anymore. I loved YuGiOh but they killed it with GREED

[vlane]

tbh, while i blame konami for being crap, at this point, i blame the players who compete and still complain even more.

It's been years. who _doesn't_ know the deal by now? if you're going to tournaments, you already know what you're in for. there are no surprises to be had. go to a locals, the cost of travel is lower, and the prizing is arguably better overall (my locals are all usually 20-60 bucks per week for top 6 placings).

it's fine to want to play at a higher level, but we already know that it's not worth it by now. either folks stop playing in big tournaments to get the message across, or stop complaining about the tournaments when we all know that it wont change so long as they keep hitting high attendance. if you won't make konami feel it in *their* wallets and reputation, then there's no point complaining about your own.

[yerxiong]

Konami : here’s your Nintendo switch now get lost .

[BonenJump-gulph]

Do any of you actually give a sht about this person's opinion

Why even care what the pros think anyway tbh

[BlackRaveBow]

Why would Konami care if the players don’t care enough to not support bad products?

[TophSinex]

Konami has proven to use time and time again that they really just don't care about the player base and would rather focus on cutting corners and stuff for money instead of furthering their game. So many people are focused on the pros leaving the game and not the years of mistakes and problems Konami's been having with the TCG for its entire run. I'm rather glad people have stopped praising Konami for their "communication" posts when we still don't even know the date of the forbidden list and moved on to how abyssmal prizing has been and how people have been flocking to other card games just because they're burnt out. Everyone's been making videos, hell, I've made a video about the above topics; hopefully Konami can wise up but what are we expecting from a company that thinks pachinko machines were the way to go.

[jojomations]

Theres more players with higher win counts tho

[ky...]

I don't think your argument against Jess' point holds water. Josh didn't make a deep run- he lost in top64. Dinh Kha was also playing one of the two silver bullet rogue picks known to have favorable Snake Eye Fiendsmith matchups (the other being Ritual Beast)- it's akin to a Floo top in Tear format.

cherry on top is that's only a couple names out of the herd of known great players.

[spicymemes]

Sad thing is people probably wont give a shit until its Josh Schmidt or Jesse Kotten before they hit the panic button. The biggest fish, maybe entertainers like MBT or Farfa, too. The really big ones.

[anakinsmith]

The thing is 90% of the game is made of casual and collectors so select top players leaving doesn't matter. Yugioh has always sucked for prizes but these players continued to play. It is the top players fault on everything not prize related constantly complaining when a strategy counters there 1000 dollar deck but not ever addressing there deck being the playing.
