In a groundbreaking business model shift, local game stores across the nation have begun accepting black market organs as valid currency for purchasing Disney Lorcana product.
“It’s Elemental,” the pioneer store to introduce this unconventional trading system, has witnessed a spike in customer engagement. Patrons, with an air of desperate eagerness, are offering organs such as kidneys and livers to acquire sealed Disney Lorcana products. Barry Fischer, the store owner, remarked, “The value of a booster box is now astonishingly close to that of a kidney, so a direct swap seemed logical. It inadvertently honors the trading spirit of TCGs.”
Concurrently, a storm of ethical debates among lawmakers and medical professionals is unfolding. Dr. William Hart, a distinguished surgeon, voiced his concerns.
“It’s both medically and morally abhorrent! A person’s body should not be treated as a financial reservoir,” Dr. Hart exclaimed. “To say I’ve been repulsed with the news is an understatement. My disgust is palpable, especially considering I didn’t conceive this idea first! Do you have any idea how many organs I’ve wasted on needy children? I could have been flush with boosters this whole time!”
In a carefully worded press release, Ravensburger maintained a neutral stance on the burgeoning organ-for-product trend.
“We unequivocally do not endorse illegal activities. However, given that a direct kidney-for-booster-box exchange does not involve monetary transactions, we are navigating a gray area legally. Although our legal team has advised silence on the matter, we can’t help but express our flattery at the undeniable value customers attribute to our products. We are uplifted by fans’ responses to our card game. The recent request from director Quentin Tarantino for a ‘Cinderella’s Glass Slipper’ card has also significantly amplified the excitement and buzz around our game.”
When asked about potential damage to Disney’s brand, given the unsavory associations of black-market trades for its products, Ravensburger countered, suggesting, “It seems pretty on point for them.”
