[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9896859, member: 23751"] I find this thinking to be odd. It has nothing to do with buying everything or not buying everything, and has everything to do with sales and profits. That's how corporations work. Nobody is going to sit down at a corporation and say, "Well, since most people don't buy everything, we're going to not sell PDFs and lose out on money in order to show them that they really should have bought everything." By not selling PDFs WotC is leaving money on the table and that only makes sense if they have some sort of strategy to make even more in the long run by doing things the way that they are doing. The only real strategy that makes sense to me along those lines is for them to be trying to pull more and more people into DDB for exclusive content in order to then shift to selling larger and more expensive exclusive content once they hit a certain threshold. The kind of content that they CAN sell in print, but won't because digital is cheaper and they can sell it exclusively on DDB. That will in my opinion ultimately be bad for D&D, but greed often puts corporation on bad paths. [/QUOTE]
