[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3036504, member: 11760"] What are you talking about? I honestly can't understand what the heck you're saying. The producers of those products absolutely did tell fans they didn't need to buy the second editions of the products. If the retailers are surprised that the fans listened, you should take it up with the producers who talked people out of buying the upgrades. In five years, I wonder if you'll be denying ever having said this, or be on Year 15 of your "MMORPG Deathwatch." Pretty much all the RPG producers. Yeah, between the contradictory statements, rambling sentences and unsupported statements, I had to take a stab at your meaning. They [i]can have that if they want to[/i]. Their current model isn't working. The decision to blame other people for their problems is pointless and non-productive. Changing the model is the only choice available to them if they actually want to survive as a business. I suspect plenty of folks would be just as happy as hobbyists who put out a book once or twice a year instead, and so are unwilling to do what's necessary. I will pay you $10 if you start being concise enough so that your point is actually discernable. Dude, that's swell, but unless you want the entire industry to rest on the Troll Lords' shoulders, it's a move that should be done by WotC and WWGS as well, as they're the market leaders and make up essentially the entire pie.
