>NefasQS’s newest report claims to “have obtained and processed the entire Intrepid Studios general ledger from 2015 to 2026,” which they state paints “a troubling picture of a company that was on the threshold of financial death at multiple points in its history.”>This includes payments made to a personal chef (who, as revealed by a member of Intrepid Studios’ staff, worked privately for Sharif and Moore), $41,717 in payments made to auction sites for historical curios, a $421.91 payment to a luxury cigar retailer, and tens of thousands of dollars worth of payments to different TCG and miniature figurine storefronts.>However, arguably the most concerning allegation in the general ledger concerns a company named Gore Oil, which NefasQS states received $81,166. Gore Oil Company was the deed owner of Steven Sharif and John Moore’s San Diego mansion, which was sold to the couple on April 11, 2020, for $4.9 million.

>>736859982Basedak millenials with too much money reliving their childhood consoomerist fantasies
>>736857684if people couldn't learn not to give money to anything on kickstarter after mighty number 9 then they deserve to be scammed.
>>736859982Turns out all those Pokemon/MTG cards people had when they were kids/teenagers turned to gold. So people are buying up everything they can now like it will be a retirement fund
>>736859982kickstarted by covid moneyhalf people basedfacing over collectables from their youth, half people putting money into it because it has a return and it's easy to launder money with it
>millions on TCG collectiblesSo he was an MTG commander player?
>>736860230>it will be a retirement fundWhen they want to retire they will need to liquidate the collection. The bulk of the market will be idiots in the same position. The market will glut, buyers will be rare, prices will crater to nothing This has happened to collectables in the past, does anyone actually want their grandma's old baby dolly collections or grandpa's old metal toy cars?
>>736859982TCGs were always collectibles used as investments, people simply noticed during covid because of logan paul.
>>736860598>no one will want a black lotus in 50 years!Cope.
>>736860598Retards who play TCGs will cope till the sun burns out that spending thousands on cardboard rectangles is fine because it can gain value as an investment. These same retards never account for finding a buyer and how long it will take to liquidate their cards. Almost always these kinds of idiots end up just selling their collection for 30% of its value as a bulk deal to some LGS or they spend half a decade listing their more expensive singles on facebook marketplace.
>>736860748At the rate Wizards is handling MTG, they’re going to reprint Black Lotus and have it be tournament legal within the next 50 years anyway, cratering the value of the original card.
>>736860940>cratering the value of the original cardThat's not how it works.>they’re going to reprint Black Lotus and have it be tournament legalMore cope.
>>736859982MUH INVESTMENT!
>>736860598I've been trying to downsize my vidya collection for a couple years. Selling less desirable NES games on Craigslist is hell. I can put up games Pricecharting says are worth $40, I ask $10 and they don't sell. Yes I'm in a major city with millions of people
>>736861031>They won't scrap the reserve list!lol, LOL, I say!
>>736859982Extreme immediate buy and resell to buy and resell to buy and resell.
>>736861295Its like anything collectible, its more about the rarity. Even worse you're trying to get rid of something that can easily be emulated. Why even spend 10 bucks when you can play it on any computer. Only the super dedicated hipsters wanting the "authentic" experience will even buy those. And they have likely thousands of other people to buy from. You roll into a yard sale and you're likely to find a box of old nes stuff they'll sell you for 5 bucks just to get it out of their garage
>>736857684>decides to make a mmo>starts a kickstarter for it>gets fully funded>decides to use most of the funds on personal spending>company almost goes bankrupt because sarif uses most of the funding on himself>manages to convince a few richfags to give them more money>repeats this pattern of spending until richfags had enough of his shit>sarif decides to step down in response to their demands>everyone finds out sarif had done>meanwhile ashes of creation is basically dead until further noticehe fucked around and found out, it's that's simple. oh and on the other hand ashes of creation might become a free and open ip meaning the fans can become the developers for it. you know, just like how City of Heroes Homecoming does
>>736861295>Craigslistkek>>736861395Do you not understand how that card works?I'm sorry you were born retarded.
>>736861815The precedent is set"Universes Beyond will never be standard legal"
>>736861906There are plenty of precendents. Mox Diamond was reprinted. So?What is the price of Mox Diamond now?Please don't talk about things you don't know, least you want to look like a clown.
>>736862025The entire RL has financially frozen in place since magic 30th so yes I'd say I am right
>>736861739>he fucked around and found out>he spent 3mil of other people's money to live like a rockstarWhat did he find out? That you can do literally whatever you want to gullible people still in the year of my lord 2000+26 = 2026?
>>736857684>trading cardsI’ve come to expect this level of autism from the gaming community. I could only imagine what the personal chef was making. Probably tendies and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or some retarded shit
>>736862121Markets never have slacking periods, they always go up, right.
>>736857684Sounds like Scam Citizen except they don't have enough delusional retards to keep them afloat.
>>736861395The fuck went wrong with MTG design? Holy clusterfuck.
>>736859982Investor autism, nostalgia wank and bandwagon hoppers.My sister started buying pokemon cards because some of her friends did. She never played the tcg or collected them any as a kid. It's just fad chasing.
>>736862664My target is always out of Pokemon cards that I'm surprised they don't gauge the prices on those things.It's kinda insane.
>>736862771its because if they do that they won't receive more stock
>>736857684>the scammer scammed peoplewhat a surprise
