[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9634172, member: 4348"] It's getting more rougher. I talked about some things previously in this thread and the decisions have come out regarding the instability of the markets and things getting sent, talked about, and priced with constant things changing or people being inconsistent. (my google foo is poor on this, I tried to find some links to credible stories so you know that it isn't all coming out of nowhere, but I can't find the stores).). Not a direct RPG thing, but it will affect RPGS. I've tried googling and can't find the news story on it, but you may have a few troubles with finding a reasonably priced computer in the future if things keep the way they are going. Things just occurred yesterday and today in response to the crazy calls regarding the tariffs that have been going on back and forth with some computer makers. At least for now, shipments are going to be halted to avoid this insanity and take a step back to figure out where to go from here, what to do...etc). This could be the first of a cataclysmic change in the market (or things could settle down...I don't know at this point). (once again, can't find the googling. tried to google Dell with variations on halts shipments, etc, but all I get is dell's main page, and that goes for others such as HP as well...sorry...bad at finding an actual source that I can refer you guys to on this). It's not an overnight, instant decision. This has been a result of talks and meetings on this over the past little while since the craziness started to really hit home strongly with calls for tariffs to be paid for things ordered during such and such a period or not to be paid or other strange things that are unusual to the market occurring. This is tangentially related because some have mentioned that RPG makers could go more online or PDF. That's not going to matter a whole lot if it is harder to get a computer or laptop than it is to pay for books or games. [/QUOTE]
