CCP and MMO

because the potential MMO fanbase would be entirely different from the V:TES one, and the loyalty of current V:TES players to the game would be turned irrelevant, simply because of the numbers of potential buyers. as Lasombra said, it's purely a business decision. I also fear that if any WoD cardgame pops up again, it's more likely to follow the already established World of Warcraft module.

Clearly you misunderstood my point. Why would they make *any* WOD CCG? They had one. They killed it. They aren't making another one. Again, they made the EVE CCG. It didn't go anywhere. They aren't making a new WOD CCG based on the MOD.

ok I get it now, cheers.
However, seeing how the whole vampire theme dominates the movie industry, for example (Twilight...meh...), I think they might want to go for it, just for pure cash. Again, it all depends on the success of the game. While with EVE it might have been a bad idea (I don't really picture EVE as a good base for a cardgame, and it was most likely done because others did that and succeeded) the WoD one may take a ride on a theme that is still massively popular. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Oh, sure--I mean, it is certainly possible that this is their super secret goal and that in the long run this will happen. But I'll be surprised if it happens

As you two keep going in circles, let me take you in a different direction of thought and ask you this: Why would CCP choose to do a thing again in the future that they chose to stop doing, given that they have said *specifically* that they don't want to do said thing anymore *ever* [1]?

Shhhh! Shoosh your rediculous logic!! Why should we trust your logical thought??

Uh, Kevin? That isn't taking us in a different direction of thought. That is just restating the exact same thing that I wrote the first time.

Just throwing that out there.

I know it's not likely to happen, but why not just reprint V:TES, but put redeemable codes on the cards that people can use to get items and such in the MMO? doesn't seem like rocket science.
