[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5206250, member: 22779"] Nice typo. :) The thing is boardgame audiences DWARF RPG audiences. By an order of magnitude. The first run of Trivial Pursuit sold in the tens of MILLIONS of copies. If you were to put all the D&D sales in a bag, for all D&D products ever, you might equal the sales of that one game. And you want to compare it to things that are even smaller run? Like the Fighting Fantasy books (sales in the tens of thousands)? ROTFLMAO!! Oh, wait... are you actually being serious here? Really? Because selling to both of you isn't worth the time and effort? I know that's harsh, but, at the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. You're not going to sell 2e D&D to a lapsed gamer, because if he played 2e D&D, he wouldn't be lapsed in the first place. The only real market for OOP versions of D&D are current players. Selling to you isn't growing the market because they already got your money. Nor is selling to me for that matter. They want to sell to that guy who played twenty years ago and got out of the hobby. Trying to sell him the same product that he abandoned twenty years ago is not a solid business model. [/QUOTE]
