Nothing ever happens #digimon #digimontcg #reveals

Oh they really do not give a fucking shit

Bandai have responded to the outrage regarding the #GCG Area Finals. They have changed Amuro Ray to be a Top 256 prize but have not changed anything else. They confirm that prizing structure requires revision for next year, which I agree with, but the concerns arising this year must be dealt with first. This response does not fully address a single one of those concerns raised. Notably, it does not even bring up the issues with competitive integrity which lie at the heart of the problem (whereby Japan are at a significant advantage compared to the rest of the world). It does not address the issues with needing to prepare for two formats nor the significant increase in variance that may knock many top players out of the tournament for a reason that is not acceptable at this high stage of play. Making Amuro Ray a Top 256 prize does not address the issues in this note besides reducing the number of players who will effectively walk home empty handed to 50% rather than 80%. This is not good enough. If these issues are not addressed decisively and immediately by making all Area Finals B03 SB and providing Amuro Ray as participation to EU and NA, the long-term health of the game and the Gundam brand in the West will be damaged. This announcement does nothing to restore the trust and goodwill that has been entirely spent over the last year, and Western players need to see our concerns taken seriously without delay. You can do better Bandai, please do not let the hard work and passion of everyone involved in making GCG go to waste, and do not let down the players who have supported it so far. AIBO バンダイは、#GCG エリア決勝戦をめぐる批判に対して回答しました。同社はアムロ・レイを「トップ256」の賞品に変更しましたが、それ以外の点については変更していません。同社は、来年の賞品構成の見直しが必要であることを認めており、私もそれに同意しますが、まずは今年生じた懸念に対処する必要があります。今回の回答は、提起された懸念事項のどれ一つとして十分に解決していません。 特に、問題の核心にある競技の公正性に関する問題（日本が世界の他の地域に比べて著しい優位性を持っている点）については、一切触れられていません。また、2つのフォーマットへの準備が必要となる問題や、このハイレベルなステージにおいて容認できない理由で多くのトッププレイヤーがトーナメントから脱落してしまう可能性のある、ばらつきの大幅な増加についても言及されていません。 アムロ・レイをトップ256の賞品にすることは、実質的に手ぶらで帰ることになるプレイヤーの割合を80％から50％に減らす以外に、この指摘で挙げられた問題の解決にはならない。 これでは不十分です。すべてのエリアファイナルをB03 SB形式とし、EUおよびNAの参加者全員にアムロ・レイを参加賞として提供することで、これらの問題を断固として直ちに解決しなければ、欧米におけるゲームおよび『ガンダム』ブランドの長期的な健全性は損なわれるでしょう。今回の発表は、この1年で完全に失われてしまった信頼と好意を回復するものではなく、欧米のプレイヤーは、私たちの懸念が遅滞なく真剣に受け止められることを求めています。 バンダイさん、もっと良い対応ができるはずです。GCGの制作に携わったすべての人々の努力と情熱を無駄にせず、これまで支えてきたプレイヤーたちを失望させないでください。 AIBO @GUNDAM_GCG_ENG @GUNDAM_GCG_JP @official_BCG_EN @official_BCG_JP

So I’m happy that Bandai is listening to Gundam players ( not sure if it’s enough to keep them happy) although I’m really annoyed that Bandai has done nothing for Digimon players. Our prizing was announced before Gundam and we had a lot YouTubers raised their voices about it. Yet nothing noting has happened. So Sad 😭

Day 1 of the Digimon Alysion Discord server and there's some moron posting Beelstarmon breastfeeding art. Guys please, can we not ruin this?

FINALLY! LET'S GET DIGIMON ALYSIONNNNNNN #digimon #DigimonAlysion #digica #digimoncardgame

For the love of all that is holy, put a moderation team in your public discord server before releasing it. @DIGIMON_ALYSION

Ya know... at this point you really gotta change the marketing here. #DigimonCardGame

We already knew this but the confirmation is still a hit. Did someone really think it was a good idea to place side events and goodies during the day that should be about Qualifying for Finals??? @digimon_tcg_EN @official_BCG_EN

A Bandai rep was at several London locals yesterday collecting feedback on the game and has indicated that they are aware of the outrage around the finals. Please keep the pressure on and keep posting about it, we can't this get brushed under the rug. #GCG

Do NOT let Bandai attempt to convince you that the Gundam LCQ selling out is in any way an indication that they can get away with what they've done for western finals. Scalpers and One Piece players looking to play matching battle have bought out all the tickets. When there are hundreds of no shows at the event this will be clear. Keep the pressure on, @GUNDAM_GCG_ENG you must fix this embarrassment of a tournament. B03 Sideboard for the entire event and participation amuros. We demand parity with Japan. #GCG @official_BCG_EN @official_BCG_JP @GUNDAM_GCG_JP

Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever, but you expect me to believe both Digimon and Dragon ball LCQs sell out in the UK and meanwhile we get fuck all players for certain in EU countries regionals? Are there even goodies to buy during LCQ day?

HELLO THIS IS MINA THE PLAYER WEARING BIG FRILLY DRESS (LIKE DRASIL/HOMEROS) AT EVENT. IS THERE ANY EUROPEAN JUDGES THAT WILL SELL THIS PLAYMAT BECAUSE I NEED IT TO COMPLETE MY OUTFIT (YES MY OUTFIT NEEDS A PLAYMAT) YOU'RE SELLING IT TO A VERY PASSIONATED LOLITA AND DIGICA PLAYER

Just a reminder to not be afraid to tag the digimon tcg accounts when talking about the prizing problem!!! Shove it in their face so their forced acknowledged it !!!

@Digi_Dane I saw your latest video I agree with your sentiment . It sucks the games meta caused pain to such a passionate fan ( I hope the game improves and you can enjoy it again). When I created the numemon deck it was to stop apocalymon tier 0 meta because it caused a similar situation amongst fans here ( I defeated one meta but caused another). I hope you can visit japan and we can enjoy casual Digimon tcg battles as fellow fans .

When I got top 7 in Elche's 2024 regionals I cried with my wife because of the effort trainning got paid with a serial Omnimon. All top 8 players where happy with theirs prizes. Now-a-days being able to get prizes only on top 4 is so sad. Also the event packs are worse...

Let us have fun again @digimon_tcg_EN @digimon_tcg @BandaiNamcoUS @official_BCG_JP Let us enjoy our time playing the Digimon tcg together!!!! Happy players brings more money then scalpers!!

I added a significant new section. I go through the past 2 years of store regionals prizing and point out how Bandai deliberately broke up prizing from 2025 to worsen prizing for 2026. Please give it a read/reread. And thank you DigiDane for sharing it in your discussion video.

funny to see bandai lowering our prizes each years, even when the most viewed video of their channel is a DCG one :/
