The magic business is a fickle whore. They love you for as long as it takes for the next new thing to come out. We are flooded with so much crap I sometimes wonder why I even bother to put out my ideas.
The worst part is the way to get known in magic now is to release products. Just load up the shotgun, fire, and see what sticks. It doesn't all have to be good.
It's kind of dis-heartening. What ever happened to good old fashioned talent? Pretty sure the internet bears the burden of some of the blame.
