Framing this decision as one of Journalistic Integrity would have more resonance if it wasn't a well-known fact that you're launching your own PDF sales site.
Journalisitic integrity? It is no more than a preference. Nobody mentioned journalistic integrity. And it was no more than a late side-thought in the thread, hardly the basis of the decision, so, please refrain from pretending it is any more than that. And please refrain from the snideness.
Stop looking for things to argue about, please, Gareth. Your
continual antagonism about
everything is getting really old, really fast.
This policy is nothing more than an attempt to drive traffic towards your new sales site, as an artificial way to compensate for late entry into a market with 4 large-scale competitors, and several smaller ones.
Errr... yes. Was that supposed to be some kind of insightful revelation?
I've already mentioned that this is a change in emphasis for EN World. This site is taking a new direction, although not as vastly different as some people in this thread would have you believe. As I said to James, the policy is no different to the policy at RPGNow. Something which he agreed with and found
perfectly reasonable.
Looks, James is cool with it, Gareth (we do talk you know, and I've not hidden anything from him), so you may as well be. He's the person with the most vested interest in what's happening. Plus, believe it or not, I strongly think that I can get
new people to try out PDFs.
And no, I didn't imagine for a second that
you'd be signing up to the new store.
