    I'll just be over here rolling my eyes. They cost the exact same--they were very briefly reopened. They lost zero value. It's digital content, anyway.

    They have no inherent value, as they serve no functional purpose. They have no resale value, as you cannot re-sell them. So the value is only aesthetic - that is to say, defined by the user. If Cengizhan's idea of value is based on having something that few others do (something rare) then his value has just been eroded. Further, he bought the thing on the promise that it would not be put back on sale - i.e. he had a fair idea that it would remain rare. Not only was this promise broken, but in doing so, Wulven have indicated that they might do so again.

    Imagine if you bought a rare baseball card (or similar) ... but then the publisher did a massive print run and everyone has a copy of your special card. Not cool.

    The "promise that it would not be put back on sale"?

    You can check the cached version of one of the pages on google to see that, in fact, it said "Exclusive, limited time card sleeve!":

    http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=uk

    It's sold exclusively in the online store and it was available for limited time, and bringing back for another week is still limited time. If it were on sale all the time, then it would not be limited time. If it was available for sale anywhere else, then it would not be exclusive. Seems like the wording matches what happened.

    Can we go back to appreciating Kyle now?

    Because no one's taken a limited time offer and offered it again "due to popular demand." Get over yourselves.

    At any rate, thanks for offering it again! While I didn't have the opportunity to buy them, I'm sure many appreciated the chance to catch up.

    Appreciating Kyle? For what? He just lies over and over again and deceives the players. There is no reason to appreciate him for his recent actions.

    If you can't think of anything nice to say, this obviously isn't the thread for you.
