[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 5307009, member: 19998"] Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find. You know, I was wondering the same thing. So, I went to My Events and downloaded the pdf Wizards has for it. Sure. In the post that I quoted, it seemed to me that you were complaining that someone who paid $6 to play in Gamma World gameday, but didn't like the game well enough to buy it (or actually disliked the game) would be saddled with game pieces they don't want or have any use for. Now, this may not be your main point, but I figured it was one minor point that you wanted to make. So I responded that the game pieces are easy to disposes of, because if you dispose of the game pieces then you no longer have them. Disposing could be as simple as giving them to someone who did like the game. At the time, I thought you brought it up because you were upset with Wizards over asking people to buy boosters to participate in a gameday. If I misunderstood you, then I'm sorry. I was an art major (sorta), so I'm occasionally prone to reading into things. It's one thing to not want to give someone money. It's another to complain that someone isn't getting any money or benefit from something that they are. Again, it's possible that I misread your post. But I honestly thought that maybe you had forgotten that the store gets some of the money. I based this on you stating "it boils down to the fact that I don't want to pay a company to demo their products... but I have no problem paying the shop for it's time and manpower in making that possible." In the GW gameday, the store is getting money. What seems strange to me (and this is [I]my[/I] major point) is that you have no problem giving the store money for running the event, but you do have a problem giving Wizards money for the same thing. Wizards is [I]manufacturing actual product just for this event[/I]. Promo cards and adventures aren't cheep. Why do not mind paying the store for it's time and effort, but you mind paying Wizards for theirs? Someone had write the adventure, design the promo cards. I guarantee the printer who printed the cards and the adventure didn't do so for free. Sure. But then, I don't have a problem with Wizards getting some money out of this. Of course. But the store wouldn't get all of that money, some of it would go to the manufacture of the game/product the customer bought with it. The point of the gameday isn't to attract a wider market to other people's products, it's to attract people to buy the game by having fun playing it. Booster packs and all. [/QUOTE]
