[QUOTE="Icon_Charlie, post: 6616938, member: 6790257"] 15 pages of interesting topic. 1. I agree with the OP. 2. Paizo and other game companies, such as Green Ronin have good customer communication than WotC 4. The Business ethics of 4E is what killed 4E. I myself wanted a license and was turned off by it. I purchased another (one of many) home instead. 5. Wotc needs more to communicate with their customer base more in this way there will be less error on information on hand. 6. The RPG market is shrinking, which is one of the reasons why I am hesitant in doing any 3rd party production work unless I need a tax right off on something. What is taking it's place are board games currently. CCG's are as well but more so is in boardgaming. This does not mean you can't make a profit in this sector. It means you that you have really think everything through before jumping in. 7. PDF's are the future of keeping old genres of RPG games alive. 8. I am a neanderthal with a keyboard kicking and screaming into the 21st century. But by adapting to the new global economy means I can survive in a profitable manner. Otherwise I would be crushed by my competitors. But I know my customer base. I Think Paizo knows their customer base. And I hope in the future WotC knows theirs. [/QUOTE]
