[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3585128, member: 48965"] Okay so WotC pulled Dragon and Dungeon, and have stated that their upcoming DI will have replacement content for both magazines. Now I've also read where Monte Cook has stated that many at WotC thought the mags were to good a deal...especially when it came to adventures and they we're in fact cutting into WotC's profits. Regardless of whether his statement is true or false, it does at least inspire a little thought. WotC publishes adventures...for $20 or more a pop. WotC creates DI that also offers adventures(for what one would hope is a better deal than Dungeon). Here's my point. Are WotC going to stop publishing adventures, because if not doesn't a conflict of interest arise? Wouldn't they do better offering the "best" adventures as purchasable products? Wider audience, greater profit, etc. Rather than putting them up on the DI? So if they get a really good adventure submitted for DI that they feel would make more money in print why would they put it on the DI? Paizo didn't have this conflict, they didn't have a monopoly on "official" adventures and weren't, in essence, trying to compete with themselves. Just wondering if anyone else has thoughts about this. [/QUOTE]
