Vampire reboot more likely than new sets?

If someone wants to earn money, they sure as hell won´t put their efforts in anything close to VTES. Period.

Depends on what the word "money" means to you. Profit can be made, mainly when a big part of the work (new expansions, motivated artists, official rulings, tournament support...) has been already done by the V:EKN and a group of volunteers.

In fact you don't need too much effort to keep the game alive. A lot of the stuff is done and will continue to be done by the playerbase.

Here is a reasonably complete draft of a set of game rules.
Vampire the Card Game (aka The Bloodless Edition)

Even more constructive would be to construct a complete, great game that is better than V:TES, patent the mechanics, and find a publisher.

I will probably not play a rebooted V:TES CCG, 100% sure I'm not playing an LCG.

so, you're saying that the only way you'd continue to play is if the game were distributed in the manner it always has?

you do realize that without the relentless set rotation that Magic has, V:tes is effectively an LCG, right? Vtes was originally envisioned as a Card Game that thought it was a board game [citation needed]. Think about how much more fun it would be to not have to worry about buying shitloads of cards, most of them wallpaper, to get decent stuff! the alternating Camarilla/Independent/Sabbat/Bloodlines distribution cycle is mind-blowingly cumbersome and awful. I think the game would be better without it.
