[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9815061, member: 7035894"] I don't have to imagine it. There are many more than "three or four" studios currently selling on DDB; you can check for yourself. Interesting choice of words. I assume by "beg for hundreds of thousands of dollars" you are referring to Roll & Play Press using a Kickstarter to originally fund this product? How is offering an investment opportunity begging? Isn't that just how financing generally works? The Kickstarter model allows companies to microfinance by going directly to interested consumers; from your perjorative choice of words it seems like you object to this model? Then you claim that "they need to beg for hundreds of thousands of dollars [I]again." [/I]Do you mean that they continue to sell the product to people other than their original backers? Isn't that nornally how business works? You make a product and sell it to people who want it? Are you under the impression that you are being forced to buy this product, or something? It's a little hard to understand exactly what you are objecting to in what appear to be normal business practices. Perhaps if you laid out your exact issue instead of relying on oblique sarcasm I could offer a more substantial response. All I can say is that I have bought a number of prodcuts from Roll & Play Press via DDB and been very satisfied with the value I received for my money. They do quality work, and I am happy to pay them for it. [/QUOTE]
