[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 926466, member: 1457"] [b]FIGS[/b] Hi Derek. I like your store, and I appreciate your concerns, but I take issue with the implication that Amazon isn't a "real" gaming store. As a lifetime gamer who cares about gaming, I created the [URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/468642/]computer & video games store[/URL] at Amazon as the ideal place to buy games online. I'm proud of that store, I think it's better than the competition, and I'd put my 'gamer cred' up against anybody's. In what little spare time I have I'm working on improving Amazon's paper game store. Monte contacted me (through mutual friend Jonathan) and I added his Malhavoc PDF titles to the store. I'm trying to add more PDFs (I've sent enquiries to ENWorld Publishing and a few nontraditional gaming PDF publishers) since gamers enjoy these kinds of programs. Check out the [URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/16215/]D&D store[/URL] and you'll see a wide variety of publishers, books, and supplements. That D&D store will be refreshed next week too, to better feature 3.5. My point is that I and Amazon am just as committed to games, gamers, and gaming as any FLGS. And if you're talking about service to the gamer community, well, I'd say Amazon--with lower prices, convenient shipping, unlimited shelf space, the ability to find nearly any book, PDF downloads, and[URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/partners/direct/advantage/home.html/]Amazon Advantage self-publishing/distribution service[/URL]--I'd say that from a gamer's point of view, Amazon does a pretty good job serving gamers. :) Not that I'm putting down the FLGS. I think they're great for meeting other gamers and when you need that certain book right *now*. I'm just a little sore at the implication that Amazon is not a "real" game store. It is a real game store--it's just a whole lot bigger than most game stores.
