GW is primarily a miniature company, while WotC also has succesfull CCGs and CMGs to round out their portfolio. WotC ousources all of their production (printing and mini manufacturing), GW does their mini production inhouse. The tin prices have been hit very hard the last decade (there is a very good reason why they are moving to plastic kits), that cuts deep into their profit margin. GW is currently investing everything they've got in a reorganisation (they are currently operating at a loss), so it's not that strange that they are closing departments down that aren't their core business and/or really big money makers (the RPGs don't sell as well as their novels). Their novels are about twice as expensive as their D&D counter parts...GW doesn't have an infrastructure (yet) to sell pdfs, they do have a lot of free material in pdf format, so they do have the expertise to produce them. GW is a company that prefers to do almost everything themselves (points at the 335 GW stores), so I doubt that they would use RPGnow or DTRPG.</blockquote>
