@JJXQI agree with that part of
@Iram00 's post that you quoted. But where do you get the idea Totem are "
basing their future" on any of this ? They have continued with the regular cards just as they ever did, they
slowly ramped up the extra SECs and the games (presumably so that they could evaluate the effect that they had and could cease to do so if they were not effective) and it looks to me as if they are doing the same with the new product.
Something similar happened with the male stripper cards and with the iDancer product - both of which were "tested" on the potential customers and which were then apparently found wanting as Totem did not persevere with either of them.
From what has been the reported here - namely that the NFTs quickly sold out - they seem to me to have fully met Totem's best predictions. Remember they could have released many more of them, maybe they will next time, maybe not but in either case it would seem to be that Totem are proceeding with care rather than risking everything on a "big bang" approach.
Also, according to the following post

When a Member Sells an NFT on the OpenSea.io Platform.
Opensea charges a 2.5% fee for hosting the transaction.
8% goes to the creator ( Totem ) and totem splits this 50/50 with the Model(s)
So, despite only selling a limited number of copies of these cards Totem can continue to receive income from them each time they are resold. I am not interrested in them so I don't know the details but if that 8% is 8% of the resale price and that resale price is well over the initial price or if there is a very active resale market then Totem and the models could do quite well out of them.
