[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 2094999, member: 3060"] Oathbound is doing a respectable figure as far as sales go, but when you look at the costs of development, redoing art and releasing a new print version costs vs. likely income from sales, it just isn't a good business decision. The market simply isn't supportive of it, specifically from the retailers and distributors (who are reluctant to make additional reorders beyond the initial one), at this time. However, to shed a little good news about Bastion, in the March issue of [i]Comics & Games Retailer[/i], Bastion Press was number [b]ten[/b] in the rankings of average unit sales for retailers' best-selling roleplaying games. These rankings would reflect sales only for the month of December and are based on the number of retailers who reported and, more specifically, what they reported to the magazine for that month's sales. [i]Prior to this issue, Bastion has never made the Top 20.[/i] This means that more gamers are talking to their local retailers and asking that they carry more Bastion products and that those gamers are then buying the products. So there is improvement but gamers still have to do more if they want to see future Bastion products on the retailers' shelves. You have to create a demand that the retailer will react to accordingly. Do that and you could one day see color products from Bastion again. ;) [/QUOTE]
