[QUOTE="King_Stannis, post: 155122, member: 324"] i have to disagree with that, to a point, piratecat. i agree about not discussing the morals/pros and cons, but it is a legitimate part of the argument. let's face it, alot of d&d players are pretty computer savvy. there has to be a point in which consumers may turn to that alternative rather than pay such a high price. some people have been pretty quick to point to GW as a possible example of a way to do business. but you can't download a metal miniature. you can certainly download a copy of just about every major rule/sourcebook out there right now, however. i wonder if this issue even is being considered with this price hike. i also wonder if WotC set the pricing standard low to begin with by bringing all of the rulebooks out for $20 apiece. WotC were the only ones that probably could have sold them for that price (because of the economies of scale), but obviously other companies are going to look at that them as a barometer for selling their own products.
