I'll be losing around 9-10% of my profits, however the new site will gain 40% more profit from me simply by raising their fee.I don't understand why a weighted fee wasn't used. Actually I do. A weighted fee wouldn't result in a 40% increase in the new site's income the day of launch compared to the older site's. It would result in maintaining the same income while also benefitting from the merger's economy of scale (one site down from two). And under that, any "new growth" this site is supposed to create above and beyond the growth experienced by DTRPG and rpgnow.com independantly would be immediatly passed on to the publishers and the site would make more as well from the increased traffic.Using a weighted fee I would bepaying 27% across rpgnow.com and DTRPG. The 9% vrs. 7% descrepancy comes from notincluding ENGamestore in the math.If they wanted to charge me 3% for the larger site access (and I'm not sure about that because I already am at all the sites, so I don't know what "additional" access I'm getting) and for the convience factor I wouldn't be too adverse to such a thing.Let's be realistic. James and Steve are going to probably make at least 20% more from this site simply by taking the profits out of the publishers hands. I'm talking about $20,000 or more over a year's period.The products I've already uploaded aren't going to save me any time, are probably not going to have more people look at them since I was on all three sites, but they're going to make me about 9-10% less per sale now.joe b.</blockquote>
