@Hemingford is correct about increasing costs. Economists call it inflation.

Totem, like everyone else around the world, is faced with increasing operating costs. To their credit, they are working to improve their product as part of their compensation to us for these cost increases.

I want to see Totem operating at a profit. That way, they can keep the girls coming through the production pipeline for us to enjoy. For me, even with the higher cost of the cards, they are still more valuable to me than the money I spend. That is why I am happy to continue buying cards to play on my computer.

I spend more money on barista coffee each week than I do on Totem cards. The same goes for movies at the cinema.

It will be terrible if Totem had to stop production. I don't want to see that happen!
