[QUOTE="Mercador, post: 9395960, member: 6968562"] It it only around me or any preorder got a rebate? I don't expect that TTRPG will follow the same route as videogames because I think people will still want physical books. In videogames industry, having a DVD or even floppies makes no sense since games are released in a beta state all the time. And once installed, you don't need those at all. I think there always be a market for physical books, like for novels, even if there's ereaders and tablets, a lot of people prefer paying more to have a physical books. That being said, marketing is killing the medium, as videogames. When I started covering videogames in the late '90, marketing was about 10% of the budget of videogames, when I stopped in 2012, it was more around 50-60% or the budget of videogames, that's not sustainable. Nowadays, big studios don't take risks anymore and we have only "remasters" and "remakes" or P2W games. I'm still confident that TTRPG won't go that far or perhaps I'm just hoping for the best. I really love that medium and I don't want it to follow videogames industry at all. [/QUOTE]
