I was curious after reading this and download the Quidd app. I checked in a few times over the weekend and already have around 25000 coins, so it seems easy to get coins. I also got a lot of free Marvel and Transformers stuff but it seems kind of...meh. Maybe the Joe stuff will be cool, who knows?
The app could use a UI overhaul though. I find it kind of muddled and confusing.

Id rather collect something physical that i can actually hold in my hands. Lol i dont know , maybe the world is changing. Perhaps im in the wrong business. If these kids want to spend money on “digital” properties then allow me to announce my new company- Stormshadows ANYTHING YOU WANT (as long as its not real) for a low low price.

Wow, isn't that addictive!
Just downloaded the app, now I got two Doom Funko figures and a bunch of Transformers cards and stickers - full set of head, whatever those are. Gotta wait 2 hours to get more coins so I can buy another Doom figure. Also got into my first trade! Still see no practical use, but the app is nicely done.

I've paid in on something similar to that before. imho, it's generally not as cool or flexible as having the physical product in hand. But that may be a generational thing.
To me, physical products offer the following benefits: Access to the cards isn't at the mercy of the Internet being online, the company selling them still existing, their authentication server staying online, an end-of-life product strategy, or even your electricity being up and running. Access to the cards can never be impacted by a change in licensing or held hostage for a new fee, a subscription model that bleeds you over time, or any other payment mechanism beyond the initial purchase price. Even if the digital cards are accessible from a smartphone, physical cards are always more available in general, for example when you don't have a cell signal or don't want to turn on your phone. Related to the previous one, in some ways they travel better. A little case with cards in it is available even when cellphone use is restricted, such as when your flight is taking off or landing, or on road trips outside of cell reception range. If the cards are used in an actual card game, there's a fun factor related to actually laying them out on a table and physically interacting with them. Something that can be a benefit or a detractor would be: Viewing them is limited to the size and resolution of the screen on the device you're using to access them. This could be good when it's a large, high-res desktop monitor if the product is designed with high res artwork. This can be bad when you're trying to view them on a handheld device. With physical cards they're always viewable, however as eyes age, sometimes it's nicer to view high res artwork on a large screen vs a small card in the hand. The downsides to physical product would include: Storage space. Risk of loss through theft or disaster (flood, fire, etc). If the cards are used in an actual card game, you need physical space to play the game and there are limits to the special effects that can be displayed vs a digital representation (think physical Magic: The Gathering vs a digital CCG like Hearthstone). I'm with edgecrusher, (excellent post, btw) STORMSHADOW_210, and foxtrot27 on this. It sure looks like a generational thing. But much like the figures, I like collecting stuff I can touch and display, not to mention play with. Nothing against digital, since the cards seem to be gaining ground on this thread already. Whatever makes ARAH relevant for the younger fans is always welcomed. |

G.I. Joe is officially live on Quidd. Classic Adventure Team stuff so far.

Making trading cards digital sort of negates the fun of... trading them.

Both. In Transformers and other Hasbro properties on Quidd, they use old artwork from previous iterations including Transformers: Legends (TF equivalent of the Battlegrounds app), as well as never before seen brand new artwork from upcoming toys, movies and animated series. I'm sure G. I. Joe will follow the same route.
