[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5638918, member: 50895"] But that shrinking pool is still fairly huge, but not going after older gamers is shooting yourself in the foot. Its like saying I want to sell a flying car, but all those land car users are not the target market. Not selling to the those that are known to pay for vehicles or other commodity means not succeeding. If you don't target the existing market, it only means fail... Regarding the casual gamer and Pathfinder, for example, there exists both the PRD, and the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com"]d20pfsrd.com[/URL] - show me where the rules are free to online users with 4e. Of course, you can't - so which is better targetting the casual online user - Pathfinder or 4e. I argue Pathfinder does a better job, because its rules are free and available online. Although not created by Paizo, there are many free and paid-for Virtual Terrain and Character generators. I can use MapTool VT app, and PCGen to play PF online and create my characters and never have to pay anyone for a DDI subscription. So saying only 4e is going the right way, is wrong. Pathfinder does it too, they just don't do it directly from their website, like 4e does. But I would never be a DDI customer, and by preference never a PF DDI is such a thing existed. [/QUOTE]
