[QUOTE="Jim Hague, post: 3496731, member: 17550"] Thing is, that's already been answered by other posters - they're consolidating their IP and think that digital is the way to go. Print magazines are expensive to produce, subject to the vagaries of a broken tiered distribution system, and can hardly keep up with the demand for good content. Paizo did an incredible job producing both magazines, but even at its peak, the readership wasn't what it once was. A digital content delivery system (if done right, stress the [i]if[/i]) can provide high-quality content at a fraction of the cost and time, and despite the mudslinging otherwise, the 'net is a reliable delivery system not subject to the whims of distributors. Nor do potential readers have to go to specialty shops to acquire it; they can sit down at any computer and do so. I'd guess that's the thinking, and it's fairly sharp. Now, whether it can be pulled off successfully is another matter entirely. [/QUOTE]
