[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6761461, member: 22779"] So, a store owner saying that Kickstarter is not good for his business and explaining how (KS products, by the time they get to the retailer have already hit the end of their sales cycle) is not good enough? He has to open his books to you? The only evidence you will accept is full disclosure of numbers? Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. To me, it makes logical sense that an alternate route of producing and buying RPG material that excludes retailers is not good for retailers. You have an alternative channel which is providing competing products to the products that are sold in retail. I'm rather unsure how that can be good for the retailer, but, hey, whatever, I certainly don't have the numbers to back that up. You are asking for impossible standards of proof and ignoring any and all evidence that doesn't match that impossible standard. Of course no one can provide the numbers you are asking for. I'm frankly baffled why you think anyone could, other than, perhaps a store owner who is saying that Kickstarter is bad for business. But, apparently, it's easier to believe that that store owner is mistaken about his own business, than to entertain the notion that maybe Kickstarter isn't good for retailers and thus the reason that WotC will not use Kickstarter to produce material. But, hey, apparently Occams Razor doesn't apply. Apparently WotC is so clueless about business that they are just leaving money on the table by not using Kickstarter to provide more material for gamers. [/QUOTE]
