[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 2941304, member: 1515"] Right. As Scribble postulated, are most gamers online? Quite possibly. However...are most gamers visiting online gaming sites / message boards? Probably not. Being a market researcher by trade, I know the danger of relying on "mother-in-law" research...just because you and your circle of friends do something, does [b]not[/b] mean that you're typical of the broader population, and to assume such can lead you to faulty conclusions. Now that I've slammed mother-in-law research...I'll provide my own. I'm a member of 4 more-or-less discrete gaming groups (my wife is pretty much the only overlap, being in 3 of the 4). Across the four, there are probably 30+ players (one group is a fairly large, loose-knit group of gamers who play together online, in chat rooms). Of those 30+, every single one is online, in some capacity (doing e-mail, if nothing else). However, my experience has been that fewer than a half-dozen of those 30+ have any involvement with online gaming sites, like this one...and I'm probably the only one that does so with any regularity. Also, I'll postulate that Scribble's belief that many people would pay the full price for a PDF version of Dragon / Dungeon may be mistaken. Reactions from people to other PDFs suggests to me that many buyers believe that PDFs should be less costly for the producer (no printing, no physical distribution)...and thus, they expect to be able to buy them at a discount, compared to the "dead-tree" version.
