[QUOTE="Sigmund, post: 155734, member: 3633"] I think ya'all need to lighten up a little bit there. I'll have to agree with Stannis here...in the context that the topic of pirated books was brought up, it's perfectly appropriate and relevant....even if nobody knows for sure how much money is lost currently, sticking our heads in the sand about it doesn't make it go away. If it really hurts the industry that much.....and is that bothersome to ya'all RPG bigwigs, then make more strenuous efforts to put a stop to it. I can give you my point of view on this whole topic, and that is that I would flat out refuse to pay $50 for any role-playing book...or any entertainment book for that matter. If I wanted to keep spending outrageous sums of money on a hobby, I'd have stuck with photography. If ya'all think I'm just saying that, and that I'd "get used to the higher prices", then ya'all got another thing coming. Perhaps I'm the exception rather than the rule....I really couldn't say. I can only tell you where I'm comin from. As it is now, I've only purchased the three "core" books, and one class book. Other members of my group have the other class books, so I'm not wastin the money. Especially since I went to the trouble of buying a good portion of the Alternity line, which was promptly dropped. Although I enjoy this hobby, it is very far down the list of priorities when it comes to spending money. Of course, this is all from my POV and as I said, I may be alone here :) [/QUOTE]
