Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9433625" data-attributes="member: 18">[CITATION NEEDED]I don't think any significant proportion of the "commentariat" (ridiculous Twitter-mindset phrase in the context) has ever suggested anything of the sort.What has been suggested is that they would like to transition as many people as possible to playing on digital - it would probably be most profitable for them if people actually used both! That's likely the real goal here. Not to eliminate books - but to make them a luxury item and be able to price them accordingly, whilst transitioning as many people as possible to paid subscriptions.I think a lot of people don't realize how insanely, dementedly pure profit subscription-based stuff can be. That's why there's this huge push to digital - because it allows subscriptions. People are incredibly bad about cancelling subs and really strongly tend to buy into annual subs even for relatively small savings, so you can often extra dozens to hundreds of dollars from people even when they're not actually playing your game or using your facilities in any way (gyms know this better than anyone!).This is softball stuff that borders on access journalism - it's almost the opposite of "hard-hitting" journalism. AFAICT there's only one source of "hard-hitting" TT RPG-related journalism, and that's The Rascal. Or are you implying that such journalism should exist and this ain't it?(ENworld isn't typically softball, to be clear, but doesn't really have the angle to be hard-hitting.)</blockquote>
