This is actually exactly what i had said to not post about. I had hoped some people would take the time to actually read through some of my post. Well, coming off of that, i still believe that the competitive scene is growing, but it pushes out any casual players from thinking of attending locals. Increasing divides between the playerbase. Like i said, a lot of points were based on personal observations of more local stores removing yugioh from their shelves and shutting down local tournaments along with locals player turnouts being shockingly low. Like i said, this is from what i have seen, not based on how big a YCS is. There's a lot more to the post than me saying "the game is dying" and is a heavy criticism on how the game is run, the playerbase, and gameplay mechanics in general.
