[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 4122675, member: 1129"] That's great for WoTC. However, does that mean Paizo cannot survive? No. Take for example Gen Con 2009. If they sell out of their initial print run, what does it matter if it's not in places like Books A Million or Borders? Getting the product directly into the hands of consumers through physical contact points like conventions or through their own stores directily gives them more money in their pocket. While greater access to material would be nice for walk by purposes, as many games aren't in Books A Million and many games still come out, like a new Rolemaster Classic book in the works for example, being in Barnes & Nobels isn't a requirment for a successful RPG. (Heck, the fact that Paizo's products are available at Amazon is probably more important than say Borders whose lost so much value in the last few weeks that it shows the weakness of brick and mortar against internet value.)
