First you 'reprimand' me, then you agree with me... ;) Back in 2002 and 2007 I spent around $65 on ENworld subscriptions, that is not a huge amount, but if everyone that uses ENworld spent $65 on the subscriptions, you would be a multimillionaire by now. So I feel I did my part, back when it...

That sounds more like a hobby then a business to be honest. I think it's significantly different. We use ENworld for 'free', what we were told way back when was that what was raised with subscriptions and ads wasn't enough to keep/upgrade ENworld. 25 years ago keeping a site like Enworld...

But that is not all you know, you know what kind of business it is, how that operates, what products it produces, etc. If it wasn't profitable, GR wouldn't be around anymore, so you can assume it breaks even and pays (some of) the bills. That said, these kind of sites generally either use old...

Pretty much, while officially not a bond, it acted a bit like it. Of course this only works if there's trust between the vendor and the customer, and it's something 'guaranteed'. Something as unclear as a very expensive lawsuit they might still loose is kind of a big gamble as they make it seem...

And you're OK with this... This is even worse behavior! This is actively misusing a certain portion of your fanbase. And everyone is of course 'free' to spend their money, but looking how certain people have a gambling problem, others have a spending and/or 'guilt' problem. They don't have an as...

While consumers are better protected in the EU specifically (the EU is not the whole of Europe), that has limitations, especially during bankruptcy! I live in the Netherlands (EU) and when a webstore goes bankrupt, they are not only allowed to keep taking orders they can't realistically...

My initial reaction was: What the hell is he talking about!?!? Then I figured it out... Do you know the last time I actually used a Green Ronin book? It's been 20 years... I have pretty much the whole 3.0/3.5e era GR collection. I recently moved and my RPG library is over three tons (3000+kg)...

Why don't they have either insurance for legal issues or something set aside for legal trouble? A business doing a gofundme is imho abhorrent. The owners of GRP could also put in personal money (or a personal loan). Suppliers you've already paid for products, your sales chain where your products...

We get slapped around with the "No politics!" hammer all too often, but you go to the front page and you get confronted with a title like this... It's alright if the site owner does it... Was such a title necessary? No. Does it generate clicks and scandal? HELL YES! I won't buy these products...

Or lack thereof. What different people get out of an pnp RPG and how to 'service' multiple groups. What those different audience groups are, maybe a bit of research into how big each group is and how good sales are, and if those groups primarily buy digital or physical. Define a hobby project...

To be fair, all the news items on the front page are just forum threads that have a 'special' status and get listed on the front page. The line between 'news site' and forum are very... Blurred? And I wouldn't call ENworld a major news outlet. But I've been coming here for 25+ years and get most...

Due to how the Internet works these days, I would say that I would consider major gaming news outlets one of the less dependable sources for information, especially reviews. I even wonder for how long independents like Digital Foundry or Second Wind will stay viable. Currently there's a...

And when you turned 18, 21, 30, 40, 50... They are timeless! ;)

Then do you have an example of an Indian company that produces PVC/HIPS miniatures/game pieces? A link would be useful. Or is that proprietary information as well...

Siocast is Spanish, they use a thermoplastic for casting. They use specialized thermoplastic pellets (from SioCast), maybe they can get a replacement that works the exact same in the US... I've also heard from certain manufacturers that the SioCast machines are a PITA to operate/maintain/repair...

Do you have an example of a miniatures or boardgames company that does their plastic mini/component manufacturing in India? Plastic injection molding is a wide industry, injection molding boxes is something different from injection molding plastic miniatures. The US has had this same issue...

Does Leaf Paper Mill have the capacity to handle all the paper for the printing that's not happening in China anymore? No. Could they expand, probably. But where do those trees come from? Where do those machines come from? And where does the qualified personnel come from to operate the...

Hasbro is #1905 when looking at current market cap. Yes, it's not a megacorp, going by the definition of megacorp, there are very few in the world (if any). But Hasbro is not an average corp when it's #1905 of almost 360 million corporations world wide. It's still a multinational that's in the...

Sure D&D is going to be all right in the US, until printers are raising prices. Even IF the printers they use use US paper, US inkt, and US machines and everything downstream is also US made, there will be way more demand and not enough supply. That means prices go up. And as not everything a...

Yeah, that will be my core as well, but after that video is a possibility I'm willing to look at in some particular situations. But keep in mind that you don't have to run everything yourself, OpenAI has Sora for example, and there are other services that have pretty good models for video...
