Its like literally the bottom of the list of things to sort out if society began to transition to a new type of economy/society, but I spend way too much time thinking about it.
Would physical TCGs even exist at all? Would it be like Triple Triad shit where every community has its own fucked up version of the rules? Who makes new cards, and how do we agree what is and isn't legit? Do we like, go on the internet and elect the Secretary of Yugioh?
Fuck, man. A lot of my hobbies are hard to imagine outside of a capitalist system because I have no real idea how hobbies work outside of the one economic system I've ever existed in.
Firstly, early TCGs had tournament rules largely organised by fans, since the makers didnt give a shit about unbalanced cards etc, they were making money sinks for children. The global community is quite capable of establishing global leagues for even very niche pastimes.
Secondly, i can imagine a TCG where you subscribe and everyone gets say 2 booster packs a month.
Don't. Don't suggest the TCG subscription box. I'm too weak. I kicked the habit years ago. My Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, and MTG cards are all packed up in storage. Don't tempt me with this .
Everyone gets the same amount of cards. Card numbers and quality are tweaked for balance and enjoyment rather than profit!
