[QUOTE="Advilaar, post: 7746013, member: 6698911"] I think it depends on the product Comics? Dead since the comics crash of the 90s. People got sick of reboots, poor storylines, over speculation, foil cover collectors gimmicks, storage space, and having boxes of wothless comics they thought would be a down payment on a house. You have movies now. RPGs? You can get pdfs, sure. But, the pdfs are not as easy to flip through to find what you need. Not to mention, that android tablet, kindle, cell phone or whatever needs to be fully charged. Hard to have an epic 8 hour long game session when your device shuts down because of battery. Minis and such? Those things have always been overpriced. You have things like WarHammer where you can spend hundreds on an army. You have Whiz Kid packs that give you random stuff you do not need when you are really looking for just a band of orcs. You have ebay, but the shipping nickels and dimes you. Plus, it's really a deep rabbit hole. Not many people can pull out 10 Frost Giant minis for when the party runs into a tribe of them, but they can use coins, stones, dice, whatever. 3D printers may help here, but a lot I have talked to say the printers are not cheap, they are prone to issues, and the ink is not cheap either. My thing? WHY DOES WotC SHUT DOWN INDY CHARACTER GENERATORS???? [/QUOTE]
