I can accept that the sale is probably the best thing AEG can do for L5R, and FFG is in the best position to convert L5R into LCG.
Just really frustrated by the abruptness of the announcement. I have been buying singles in preparation for Onyx, and this was a major kick in the teeth.
I wish there was some transitional plan agreed between the two companies where Onyx Ed becomes the last set by AEG in 2016 and it may or may not feed into the relaunch in 2017. This also cuts the hiatus down to 1 year, which is more agreeable.
And we can have farewell tournaments for AEG in 2016. I am sure the fans will support these to thank AEG for the great experience and fond memories.
They could also have wrapped up the story side of things and maybe have an open-ended finale.
IMHO the transition could have been handled so much better. This was a huge missed opportunity to:
1. Give AEG a proper farewell/send off
2. Give us fans a fair chance to embrace the transition
Unfortunately, many of us will likely look back at this with a bitter aftertaste.
