Nothing is essentially free, Beyond has servers and employees to pay, same as the sandwich shop. Right, so...the WotC products that are 90% of the market...?

There are more varieties of B/X on the market, compared to say variants of 2E.

I mean everything, including sandwiches. Reports are that Arizona iced tea will have to raise their prices soon or go out of business, as kt is they have had to tighten their belts and cut corners. I mean, that is assuming this fails. It might do well, depends on whether people feel it offers a...

I didn't say I wasn't interested in discussing the subject. D&D is the majority of the market, and now more and more third party content is on Beyond. PDF is not the dominant electronic format in the RPG industry at this point, between Beyond and Demiplane.

The point of bringing up Paizo's price changes is to show unsustainable those lower prices are increasingly becoming, for everyone and everything. Right, if it fails it is because the market won't bear it.

It's pretty straightforward: D&D is sold on Beyond, not in PDF. Ergo, by volume it is the industry standard.

I mean, right now HTML readers like Beyond are the industry standard for digital RPG stuff: even OneBookShelf has moved that direction with DemiPlane.

For context on how "predatory" $15 is for a hobby item thst could lead to many play sessions of enjoyment, here is how much lunch is going for in these parts these days (and neighborhood sandwhich shops in Southwest Ohio ain't the Rtiz-Carlton):

I think a case can be made for 10th (OD&D) or 14th (B/X).

Haven't read past the first post, but B/X was the most popular edition until 5E came along. That's why it gets all the OSR attention. Speaking as somwone who started with 3.c in College (not really wither 3E ir 3.5, sort of a mix) having gone back and experienced older editions later: every TSR...

Nothing. They go digital only, that's their problem. For market value, $15 seems fair for the content given the economy of scale for a smaller product, and $25 for a physical book would makd sense historically (and Beyond is deaigned to not undercut thw book prices for WotC side). But I won't...

I seriously doubt it. See the former.

Yeah, but they won't. And PDF is not a format that I would buy, either.

Minecraft, Mario, and the Sonic movies have proven decent.

I doubt they would bother for less, nor would I expect them to try. I do somewhat hope they find "Beyond only" a failed experiment, but thst effectively also means the death knell of small D&D products, which I am also fine with.

I don't see why everyone has to be equally common in a Setting.

Costs are very ever linear, for anything. $15 is basically half of what TSR charged for 32 page supplements in print, adjusted for inflation (~$28-32), and the ratio of other Beyond products suggest of they did print these the cost would be $25. And remember, the price for Beyond is based on the...

Well, yeah, this shows that small products are just not cost effective.

It is a 32 page gazateer. We had assumed as a community at some point that it would be more substantial, but alas...no.
