[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 7663694, member: 55961"] Um, yes. You need to re-read what the other guy wrote. Me not buying a product will not cancel out the purchase someone else made. WotC still gets the money from the purchase. If I were to seal a book they made, that would cost them. But than again theft is sometimes calculated in the prices right off the bat. Yes, that argument as been made multiple times. But it is a guess. They could just as well sell 50k copies of two books. Heck, making less books might mean they sell less of them because people will lose interest in the edition. Or releasing one action flick one weekend and another the other or a month later. Which is pretty much what Hollywood is doing, to take our example. No one is saying WotC needs to release two products the same week. Heck, that was there plan until they cancelled the Adventurer's Handbook! Double heck, they are releasing the adventure, the boardgame and a MMO at the same. They are dividing their audience as we speak! LoL! Duh! Wow, that is quite the strawman. And no I'm not dodging, just saying this argument is seriously in no relations to what I said. Of course, they need to develop the book over a longer period. Duh! What I said is that if they made a FR setting a priority instead of PotA, the FR setting that would be release in April would sell more than PotA. Of course, they can't make it now. They would have needed working on it a year or two ago. Seriously. That was some mental gymnastic to contradict me and say PotA would sell more books. I tell, you kids these days. All exployees of WotC. Yeah, I know. Because they would have started working on it like a year or two ago. I was talking of the cost to customer. If a book cost 25$ it cost less than 50$. It is a simple fact. That 25$ makes it more affortable for more people. Also a simple fact. Yes, I understand that, but I only said one 60 pages book. It would be fun if you debated what I actually said. And the added value of a 60 page book is less bloat. Something people seem to really care about. Better go tell them that. It seems they think otherwise. ;) Or they printed less than Paizo, knowing they weren't as popular. Or they it justa cash grab. You know, starve fans, print a book they want, over charge them, go into dormency again. A sort of boom and bust model. Considering they do not sell PDFs of this edition, I would say they sell less than Paizo's current edition. Hey look, that argument I didn't make. You are arguing with yourself. You'd have a point if there were choices, but there are no choices. It is AP or screw you. [/QUOTE]
