Im curious to see what people think.
Personally I think its gonna die off sadly. No matter how good a game is, most gamers I know gradually get bored and move on to other games, if a game has lots of new players getting into it then thats not a problem and usually the original lot will come back to it and play from time to time but without the new players coming in the game will die off and by the time those oirignal groups feel like coming back to the game it will be long gone and therell be noone to play.
I DO think the prophesied 'return of the miniatures range in a year' would rekindle the game potentially but I suepct alot of us may have 'passed beyond the rim' by then (so to speak) and those that might come back might be a tad supsicious about investing in a miniatures range that has already proven rather tenuous once.....
At least in the short term the ACTA game does seem to have 2 things going for it: A large supply of miniatures already produced by Agents of Gaming and Mongoose in addition to new material going to be produced for the game by Mongoose. I think the potential problem could be with the new material. If it isn't produced or poorly produced, then the current players may not play the game as much or at all.
Sincerely,
