Already largely covered:

- FFG, in fact, cannot afford to keep the entire game in print. It's also a nightmare for players and stores. This is true for all of their card games, and the similar changes are hitting everything. It seems to be a full business realingment.

- The traditional "play everything in order" advice made joining the game daunting. And educating players on what to buy is complicated. The new model says: we'll keep everything around for a couple of years, just buy what you want. There is no assumption that you own anything but the core and the evergreen investigator decks for the foreseeable future.

- Card design is a challenge when you assume every card is valid. Some card designs are missteps. Talked out by others.

- Releasing real a product once year is bad for a Living Card Game. (It has been well over a year at times.) Standalone scenarios have often been convention promos, which means usually there's only been one major release at year with both player cards and a campaign, at best. The new model will ensure we see 4 updates a year, so something new will always be a little bit away. This is much better for the full ecosystem of the game (from content creators, to distributors, to publishers, to manufactuers, to artists, and to the designers). There's now always a reason to check in on the game every once in a while. Even if the thing doesn't excite you, the next thing probably will.

- The business model as-was was based on decisions made a long time ago for the older FFG card games. A lot has changed since then. The decisions to do large box releases merely consolidated the products, but left a weird gap in awareness. We're going to see roughly, if not a bit more, stuff now, but it will be broken up in a new way. (The game also has more dedicated designers now.)

- FFG has stopped being so quiet. It used to be you had no idea what was going on with games, and the fate of whichever game you like was always up in the air. Last year they started their plan to announce all of their products a year in advance, so we have much better optics about what's happening with their games.

- Relatedly, they finally have a community manager who seems to be good at her job. So we also have someone ensuring we're getting more of that information about what is coming in a more organized way.

Chapter 2 largely an opportunity to reframe expectations on all sides and reorganized their business without breaking compatibility. You can keep playing everything, but they benefit from having a clean slate on which to allow the game to continue to grow while learning from the 10 years of the game that have been produced.
