A letter addressed to nobody

"Why am I still interested to continue playing Yu-Gi-Oh?" This question has always crossed my mind whenever I sit and idle around. On trips to school and back, on times when I stare and do nothing in front of my computer.

"I don't have much cards."
"I can't craft Tier 1 decks."
"I do not have the opportunity to Duel outside much."
"The game is totally unsupported by Konami in my country."
"Getting my needed cards are near impossible."

In spite of all these random thoughts. In spite of my financial difficulties. In spite of every hardship I experience in playing this game. Why?

"I guess its because looking forward to something like creating an awesome deck and using it to pit with others in tournaments sounds nice."

I know that companies have to prioritize their sales quota and profits first, since I study Management as my bachelor degree. I also know that I contribute little in these sales needed for Konami to back up our country with events. I also know that Philippines' economy is not doing that well for investors and businesses like Konami to even bother with.

But its not just me. There is a community in our country that loves and keeps this game alive. I know that the community is just small and isn't even worth mentioning at all, compared to millions playing over at the three main countries Konami focuses in.

I know I do not have the right to actually say for the other countries neglected, but I will mention them here as well: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and the some of Latin America. All of the duelists in the aformentioned countries have the same desire. To have equal support from the company that created what they love.

This is my simple wish and I hope that this will somehow reach who this letter is intended for.
