Competition, easy availability, low cost of production all drive down price. You might really want convenient water, but that does not mean you should expect to spend an exorbitant amount on it when you are in a place where it is plentiful and easy to get. This is so even though water is a necessity, if you have to you will pay premium prices to secure your basic necessity water needs.RPG products are not necessities, nobody needs these products. In a market, price will matter for luxury goods.I'm one of those who generally prefers pdf to print, yet I still go for cheaper pdfs over very pricey ones. Price can be a big issue for me. I didn't buy 3e WotC pdfs because of their high price, even though I play D&D and use a lot of supplemental material. I bought lots of cheap old edition D&D pdfs and tons of OGL stuff because there were plenty of high quality cheap things I was also interested in. If the 3e pdfs had been priced low enough, I would have bought them.Inconvenient products I simply do without entirely. When DrivethruRPG offered DRM pdfs I never got a single one. The market for luxury goods is a competition for what I spend my disposable RPG budget money on, convenience is one factor, but price is as well.</blockquote>
