[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 7954170, member: 53082"] The thing is most smaller publishers already do digital - for the smallest I'd say it's their main channel. Everyone from Paizo to Green Ronin to Modiphius to most of the RPG names you can think of already have a significant digital product line. WOTC is really the only one that doesn't do PDFs of their current product line. That's been reported as being due to a) licensing agreements for video games as somehow someway blocking the publication of PDFs due to being an "electronic product" and b) piracy fears .. .which seems less likely these days but you never know. WOTC being part of Hasbro and having a relatively small staff should be fine. The next 5E book is what, end of May/early June? It will sell one way or another. They have big new physical MTG products coming (controversy for the win!) plus their newer online component, Arena, seems to be doing very well. I wouldn't worry about them just yet. The FLGS is going to get hammered first. [/QUOTE]
