[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9709446, member: 7635"] Let's look at the scenarios: 1. WotC releases FotA as promised, with the defective cover. Reaction: "WotC has zero quality control. They are cutting corners to pump out cheap products. The books are defective as a way to lead people to digital purchases." 2. WotC releases FotA digital, delays the physical release. "This is proof that WotC is abandoning physical for digital releases. This is going to kill LGS. This is being used to prop up D&D Beyond sales. WotC is forcing me to buy it twice." 3. WotC delays both physical and digital. " WotC is making me wait 5 months for a product I was going to buy anyway! WotC delayed the start of my new Eberron game." Which of those do you think is the worst backlash? The first two options are PR seppuku. The latter is a bunch of grousing fans grumpy they have to wait longer. The book is already a trial balloon to see if smaller books will sell. There is no need to pollute the results by finding out if a 5 month digital exclusivity window changes things. And if you think this is bad, I'm going to assume you haven't bought a video game or collector memorabilia in the last 30 years. [/QUOTE]
