I'm still mildly playing Bakugan, but to be honest the stock at my local stores hasn't changed in well over a month; as much as I'd like to buy something new there isn't anything to get. The BD shutdown started the blatant downward spiral of the game, and even before then not having a BakuCon 2011 was a bad sign. But with the official forums going offline, I'm more certain than ever that SM is abandoning Bakugan to pursue Redakai, even though Redakai's already managed to die off. Its OP was a failure, and the pricing is higher than any pro tcgers are willing to pay. If SM thinks Redakai will go farther than Bakugan would, they're even more retarded than I think they are...
Once Bakugan's officially dead, I'm probably going to phase out of tcgs. Every one I've played so far has ended up crashing and being discontinued, I don't feel like investing into any other game when it probably will just end up leaving me with a ton of worthless game pieces to an out-of-print game.
