I appreciate all the replies to my original post, in particular that from the gentleman from Paizo.
My perspective is this: I subscribed to what is advertised as a monthly publication. I expect to receive one issue a month, every month. I hear you that you have had issues -- those are your issues, not mine. It is not common practice among publishers who offer subscription services to require subscribers to monitor emails, message boards, etc. in order to ensure that a monthly publication is indeed received monthly. Had I subscribed to what was advertised as an "irregularly published" magazine, I'd not be posting about my experience here.
My purpose is solely to relate an experience that I consider unsatisfactory so that other people may be aware of it. In my original post I do not disparage Paizo, and do not suggest that other people emulate my decision. I expressed an opinion (which I described as such) about a behavior, and suggested a motive for that behavior.
I request that further discussion focus on the behavior rather than me, my posts, or Paizo's reputation in general.
The behavior was explained in a lengthy post by James Jacobs himself. You were even offered a means by which to correct the error and receive reimbursement. Instead, you chose to make another post demonstrating no small amount of condescension. The above language very much comes off as something born of an entitlement complex.
Essentially, James offered a resolution to your problem (Which, IMO is indicative of pretty good customer service when the editor of the magazine you are complaining about decides to reply to your grievances openly on a public forum, offering explanation and compensation) and you threw it back in his face with utterances like 'Your problem, not mine" and "I don't expect to have to check updates sent to me about the dispensation of my subscription to know what is happening with my subscription'. Sorry, sounds like poor form on your part.
