Regarding the Twitch Korea debacle, apparently Korea has like no net neutrality, so the big ISPs can just sort of charge whatever. So, they can do stuff like charge foreign companies way more to use their network than they charge domestic ones. Netflix is also considering leaving Korea for the same reasons, apparently.

I am a big proponent of set rotation, but I think it has to come with some kind of alternative format. And the easy way around those situations where you need a hand full of cards that have rotated out to make a deck work or give it new love is to reprint it in the new set. I believe Magic does this as well. Also Happy Birthday Alec!

Before watching, my take on the tcg and ocg merging is: yes. primarily because if we did so, it would disrupt the ability of the tcg to do what they do with their shortprinting practices. it would alsoallow worlds to be a little less chaotic, since the banlists and card pools would line up a lot better.

I should really finish watching these before commenting but I have to wonder how much more relevant Yugioh would be if it did branch outside of DM. Pokemon remains popular because there is always something for a new generation, but Yugioh branding is so focused on DM. More love for 5Ds and Go Rush probably would make it into a bigger franchise as well as sell more cards
@Noah2472-j1n

My goodness, I sure hope it does because the fact that there are ruling differences between the TCG and OCG despite both being Yu-Gi-Oh is absolutely bollocks. This would also do wonders for accessibility because a unified TCG/OCG would mean that cards from any region would be allowed, similar to how you can have mixed language decks in the TCG. Since you can potentially get cards from a country where the card is cheaper. I believe it would also unify the rarities of cards so something like SP Little Knight being worth over a hundred dollar in the US, while it's worth less than 20 bucks here in Japan, won't happen. Which is exactly why Konami won't unify the two.

I would think Konami would have a single fee they charge to the host to have the event and that way they profit regardless, but then let the host handle all the money and booking vendors etc based on what they need to break even and not touch any additional profit or loss. At least that’s what other companies would do, but idk since Konami has a direct connection with the events and not just licensing it out unless this is the way Konami markets the game so they consider it a loss regardless.

TCG should definitely have the same higher quality of products, printing quality and the community engagement events such as product and new card announcements and more too! It would be COOL that more OCG countries host the regional level of tournaments. If u didn’t know. South Korea only have small local tournaments and the concept of “regional” does not exist in here. So having few regional tournaments would help more OCG players to experience! It would be cool if OCG and TCG actually merge the format and banlist. BUT at the same time, I personally think having these two separate different pace of game ( w different format and banlist) make me enjoy this game more, like it make me want to learn more cuz Both of them have their own uniqueness. But hey that’s just my own thoughts :))

Problem with Speed Duel is (in my card community). We (almost) all already have the "Yugi-boomer" cards that we want in our boxes. So 9 times out of 10. Its simply a case of. You free next month? Sure, I'll bring my 2010s Harpie deck then. And similar stories to that. TLDR, What we need is an official format and ban list. Speed Duel will only probably enter our radar if new cards exclusively made for the time period becomes a thing. Like in MTG Commander

Dragon Ball is really the progenitor of the modern fighting shounen anime. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, known as the Big 3 of last generation (yes, last, not this). And Bleach and Naruto (esp.

Konami keeps screwing over the TCG and we let them do it because we have ADHD brains and can't handle playing fewer than seven cards in one turn. SP was bumped to secret AND the ban list we celebrated for hitting floodgates was to force the most expensive deck core in recent memory to the top of the meta. At this point, I'm convinced that KoA is pulling a Hasbro and is just trying to milk the remaining TCG players before everything collapses.

Set rotation makes 0 sense in this game and kills it appeal. The magic of Yu-Gi-Oh is the eternal copium that one or two needed cards introduced into an archetype can make it work even 20 years later. If anything set rotation exists loosely in this game through extra deck material. One day it's all Fusions, then Synchros, then XYZ, then Links which basically a format rotation. Any extra deck monster that is too good like Halqifibrax will eventually get rotated out. In fact one of the biggest complaints in Yu-Gi-Oh is that extra deck material is too generic, add harsher restrictions Konami! We don't want splashable extra deck monsters like Baron, rotate her out!

NGL definitely should have researched the whole Twitch debacle more -- S. Korea (and Europe) were trying to charge foreign companies for using data, which when you stream can go to crazy high amounts of data. This vid was prob more than 40 gb, stretch that around thousands of content creators and even if you only charge 1 dollar extra per gb, and that becomes insanely high (and it was actually way higher of a charge for that.) As for the AI arguments, I don't think Alec's arguments are very strong -- creativity isn't necessarily destroyed by using AI. That's like saying your creativity if you created a custom ygo card on a card generating site is gone because you didn't have to draw the card formatting yourself. It still is just a tool, the AI can't create something that will ever truly align to your vision so much as give ideas or help you take care of menial details.
