[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4843975, member: 40961"] I think that's a load of nonsense. I know for a fact that Lisa's divisions of gamers into two camps, the "love to have dead-tree versions" camp and the "strictly in the digital realm" camp, misses at least a few people. I know this because I, personally, fall into camp three: people who sometimes buy electronic and sometimes buy hardcopy, depending on the item in question and the relative price. For example, if an RPG book I wanted to buy were available for $40 in hardcopy, and $40 for electronic, I'd buy hardcopy. But if it were $40 for hardcopy and $20 for electronic, I'm not sure which I'd buy. And if it were $40 for hardcopy and $10 for electronic, I'd definitely buy electronic. Now its possible that I am a total freak of nature and possibly [I]not even human[/I]. After all, I generally prefer books but never bought the core 3e books because the SRD is free- a format decision that Lisa, and this thread apparently, believe shouldn't be possible. So maybe I'm some sort of strange, alien being who can't understand how people can deny the relevancy of price point for format choice because my extra terrestrial brain lacks the human psychology that would be necessary for me to understand. It is possible that REAL homo sapiens make their purchases based purely on format concerns, without ever considering choosing one format over another based on issues like cost. That's possible. Economics says its not, but whatever. Economics, schmeconomics. I just doubt it. A lot. (Let me reiterate, again, so I don't get flamed, that I think its great that Paizo offers multiple formats of their products at multiple price points based on format choice. As someone who considers different formats depending on issues like price, multiple formats at varying price points is a wonderful, wonderful thing.) [/QUOTE]
