Hey, are we all cool with having to buy the same book twice, or what?

[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7982702, member: 18"] Yeah but unfortunately he said that back when their products were still incredibly inconvenient to use (or if not him, some other person said exactly that), when the app was only in beta and only on iOS. So I think it was fair at the time to disbelieve him. Even the character sheet was pretty rubbish at that time. However, once the app actually started working and it to the Android market, and their site improved drastically, what he was saying became true. Now, I definitely don't want to go back to PDFs. I just feel like they'd have got my trust earlier, if instead of saying "Our product is better than PDFs!" (which it really, I would say, was not, at the time), they'd said "Our product will become far better than PDFs!". Either way it's a good product now. EDIT - That said, the lack of the certainty PDFs provide is hurting them in sense. I would have spent a huge amount more with them if they also gave me PDFs (or even just said "If we shut down, all the stuff you've bought will be provided to you as PDFs"). I would have happily gone for the "everything" package (including the adventures) and basically just mindlessly bought everything that came out like a proper consumer, if I had that certainty, because I really like their product. But because I don't, and I trust them, but I don't have certainty, I hold back on what is several hundred dollars of purchases. [/QUOTE]
