Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteveC" data-source="post: 9743154" data-attributes="member: 9053">For me, it doesn't cost less. For someone who is highly irresponsible, I have my finances pretty squared away. After everything is done, I have 30-40 dollars per month that I can spend on stupid stuff. And by that I mean I don't care or plan it ... it could be a big foam cheese head for all I care. Pathfinder modules (or gaming stuff I don't plan for) go into that bucket. I have a bunch of APs that I purchased the first "issue" of. I read them, and if they were decent, I pitch them to my players. Sadly, I have a few that didn't make the cut. In the future, I'm looking at an 80-dollar purchase for an AP. It doesn't matter that it's once every three months, I'm looking at that purchase and it has reached the point where it matters. Where I need to account for it. And that means it will 100% not be an impulse purchase. I'll have to read reviews, maybe even check out an actual play to buy it.And I know that I'm more organized in my finances than a lot of people (which makes me feel odd to type out...). So people who subscribe or pick up every AP will come out ahead. However, anyone who just sees an impulse purchase is looking at $80. And that, as my doctor told me about the chicken alfredo, is too rich for my blood.Now this is only my opinion, of course. Maybe this will be a good thing for Paizo. I hope so because I like them as a company. But it sounds like "let's change things up" as a strategy, which I'm questioning.</blockquote>
