[QUOTE="transmission89, post: 8232506, member: 6688441"] No I’m not implying they are non profit. And thanks for the straw manning of me in a further post (real cute). I have not claimed they are non profit or a charity. Nor am I here to try and impress you. What I am saying is that your argument for their publishing rule books to satisfy their “cocaine like addiction to money” doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny or even the most casual of glances at what they do If I desired to make a profit, and I decided that my business is reliant on making rules to generate that profit and sustain my company, I’d be pretty stupid to give them away for free wouldn’t I? This is further supported by the fact that their PDF of the CRB is a loss leader with a relatively cheap buy in. Now yes, obviously, they make money from rule books they sell. The fact that they also give away these rules pretty much day and date with publication of the rule books indicate that this is not their main driver for profit. Their main focus is on subscriptions to their adventures (in which the rules support the things they want to do) and lore books. [/QUOTE]
