[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1823125, member: 725"] The question then also becomes do the current publishers equal the game industry? Well that's one possibility, one that i find disappointing, but acceptable. Another is that the renewed interest in the product, thru the OGC, might invigorate a product. Both are pssibilities, i highly doubt we'll ever see dependable report on this, only a lot of speculation (just as with the whole 'piracy' issue). Someone said, that's the bed you made, now sleep in it, i like that (also for myself). These are the consequences of your actions. I am a healthy believer of voting with my wallet. If i don't like a product, i don't buy it, if i like it, i try to buy it. When i release regurgetated OGC, i deposit the responsibilty with the publisher (made he a good product in the first place) and the consumer (did he find the OGC impressive enough to actually buy the rest of the product). LOL! I find that so funny and sad at the same time. On one hand i can understand this when it involves big music or movie companies, maybe even companies like WotC or WW, but not one man operations! I actually bought some of your pdfs (space ships) because i liked the sound of them, not because i needed them (i currently don't run a future game, nor do i see an oppertunity to run one in the next decade). If i want to see more kewl stuff i need to support those who make it financially, others should do the same. I believe that making OGC available for free online is only going to make the game better. ps. That reminds me of a DorkTower comic about a RPG that went belly up, everyne had a copy (copied illegally of course). [/QUOTE]
