[QUOTE="Savage Wombat, post: 5917617, member: 1932"] But again, the question becomes - do people buy these supplements in sufficient quantity to make their nut? I don't know much about the publishing industry personally, but you can tell that businesses with no printing costs whatsoever - i.e. e-reader books etc. - still have a significant minimum price point they have to charge to make it worth publishing. WotC has some accountant's model somewhere telling them "We must sell X books priced at Y dollars every year" and if they don't hit those numbers, they go broke. (The D&D division anyway.) And if they don't sell nearly as many copies of setting material and other DM-only books, they have a harder time reaching that goal. I don't like the splatbook merry-go-round, but I don't know what else WotC can do to stay in business. They can't release a new set of "must-have" cards every quarter like they do for MtG. [/QUOTE]
