The fact of the matter is that internet-based comments or reviews have been statistically shown to have no effect or very little effect on overall sales. It would take something on a bigger scale (such as a massive letter campaign) to cause a shift in policy. Paizo clearly has a business plan concerning Dungeon and whether that plan is successful remains to be seen. From the sounds of Mr. Wilson's post, the business viability of Dungeon may very well be in question. While I do not have access to subscription numbers, it sounds like Dragon is clearly an overwhelming leader in subscriptions and that Paizo may very well be looking at discontinuing Dungeon to use that money towards Dragon and its operations. From a business standpoint, this makes good economic sense. If you are loosing money, cut your losses and focus on the one that is making money.I, personally, get limited use out of Dungeon. Due to limited playing time, it typically gets scanned and thrown on the shelf to be mined for ideas at a later date when I might get more time to play. Truth be told, if it was gone, I wouldn't miss it. There are plenty of other resources at my command, including my own skills.Perhaps instead of being extremely critical of either Dungeon or Polyhedron, one should consider what it would be like if both magazines were merged with Dragon. Consider the idea of having two or three adventures included in every issue of Dragon with the typical Polyhedron content appearing every three months. Increase the page count size of Dragon, raise the price a bit to allow for the increased printing costs, go back to black & white printing rather than full color and suddenly you've got the best of everything rolled into one magazine. Economically, this may be a direction that Paizo should consider in an effort to calm the masses and find a compromise that works (mostly) everyone.</blockquote>
