Either way, I should hope not, but that's two very different conversations.I mean... I've already staked out a position here on subscription/hostage models, and I don't want to develop tunnel vision and potentially miss out on other potential solutions, but the roleplaying industry-- outside of Wizards and Paizo, and maybe the top 1% of the rest of the 99%-- needs to start looking for and adopting business models where publishers can pay creators healthy rates and still make healthy profits independent of unit sales and per-unit profit margins.Unfortunately, that has ugly goddamned repercussions for guys like me who don't have the established reputation and fanbase to really leverage those models... effectively bringing the barriers to entry back up after the PDF/POD markets and the OGL brought them down.</blockquote>
