I'm actually facing this as good news. A MMORPG based on Requiem would
basically spell doom for our beloved game whereas, if the oWOD game is
successful, we might actually see a resurgence o V:TES.
A number of hoops need to be jumped through, though. The company might
still be unwilling to invest in the CCG market no matter what or the
cardboard spin-off of said MMORPG might not be V:TES as we know it but
a more massified, dumbed-down version of a oWOD card game using
completely different mechanics.
These news offer a glimmer of hope, is what I'm saying. At least they
pretty much kill the "they won't sustain V:TES for marketing reasons
so as not to contradict their Requiem brand" type of argument.
