[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9393231, member: 59057"] I like the saying: put your money where your mouth is. Since I like both, (translated) books and digital, I buy books and digital. Ans since I want the alternate covers in english too, I first go to the FLGS, buy the special edition covers (the first I really want). Then I will get digital copies. And then I will buy the German books on top. And I don't even feel bad. I feel good, because I have supported my favorite RPG, the conveniency of having online access to those books, I support my FLGS and I support the effort to translate the books. Yeah that is it. Some people do underestimate the work that has to be done for such a book. Research and development, art, playtesting, proof reading, proof reading the proofreading, double checking for consistency, proof reading, checking again. Then layout. Proof reading again. Printing, distributing, having customer service that replace misprints or books that fall apart. Communication. Constantly supporting the game with fresh material. That does not mean I like everything they do and if greed is too much, I stop buying. Again, because I pay for what I really want not for things that have no value (like backdrops or digital dice). Right now, the pricing is still more than fair. I buy books, everyone else can just use them. Digital with master tier subscription or physically. Digital is way more convenient right now though.
