Paizo and OBE handled the tech support and the customer service end of things.Promotion and marketing is a cost that is easy to drop. I'm not sure if it was WotC or OBE that put out the adds for the pdfs when the 4e ones first were available, but adds are an easy thing to not purchase.I would find it a little incredible to think the costs of counting their incoming checks would be a significant added cost to them (I expect they already have accountants and such so these costs are marginally adding onto existing internal workloads instead of requiring from scratch overhead personnell), though I can easily see WotC feeling that the revenue from pdfs is small on their scale of things and therefore unimportant to them and easily sacrificed.</blockquote>
