EN World GameStore Closing

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Can I ask what motivated the change? I'm a big PDF customer and I'm curious about the alluded-to changes in the marketplace.

Bah. So much for my feeble efforts to collect affiliate credit.

Good luck with the new arrangement. I assume if I buy from the "EN World Download Shop" this will be better for EN World than if I buy from RPGNow directly?

I both hate and fear change.

Let me be the first to welcome our new OneBookShelf Overlords!

It's a shame that the ENGS is closing, but I'm glad to see that this is (hopefully) more of a new beginning than an end. If RPGNow and DTRPG are helping to run things, then it can't be that bad.

All hail the OneBookShelf!

You may have heard rumours of some major impending changes in the PDF Retail market.

What rumours would these be?

 

[Thomas Percy]

This is very good news.
No more troubles for The Forge with handling of three shops simultaneously.

Thanks, and good luck for OneBookShelf!

I think this is excellent news all round. After all, it's not as if anyone undercut anyone else across the three stores. It was just a case of surfing around to find the store that had the product you wanted. Now, you'll just go to one location

Yes ENWorld will be getting supported if you buy from the ENWorld branded store front.

The only thought flittering about in my head is lack of competition now and what impact that may eventually have on pricing of downloadable product.

I have used all three stores, though I primarily tried to buy through the EN Gamestore to help support the site. I am sad to see that layer of support go as well.

I look forward to doing business with this new entity, so long as the prices remain reasonable.

I don't understand that statement. ENWorld will still earn money (probably more) from the new affliate agreement.
