[QUOTE="Hunter In Darkness, post: 4832905, member: 44298"] I think I can explain this. You ever had a few shelves of product you paid for you can't sale? Ya see it wans't the d20 glut that hurt. Back when Wotc pulled out 3.5 shelves everywhere now had loads of stuff that where outdated and pretty much unsellable. So they take the lose and stop looking or carrying much 3pp as well to risky. We go forward a few years some names are still pushing stuff out and have fainly started to make headway into stores again. Then Wotc drops the 4e bombshell, something that they have told everyone was year and years away. And 3pp everywhere have product no one will touch as its now outdated and to a "dead" edition. stores take big loses on 3pp and so do many of the company. Sales leading up to 4e where awful and well ya can't blame folks for buying something that is not the current edition. and you can't blame stores for not wanting to touch 3pp So there ya have it, the risk of having unsellable stock is just to great much less for a 3pp that have not been pushing it out monthly [/QUOTE]
