[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1175306, member: 725"] Then you've met only a very small percentage of your customers. They might not be stupid in the sense that they have a low IQ. Rather, they are selfcentered, egotistical, know-it-alls, etc. I've spend a fair deal of time in a couple of different game stores, some conventions, and on these and similar boards. I've seen lots of people come and go, i've seen myself in the mirror ;-) We're a stupid and emotional lot when it comes to our games... One looks at price and not at content or price to content ratio or even quality. Another looks only at price related to the amount of pages. Even someone else judges a book by it's covers, another judges books on the fact that they we're produced by a certain company or writer asif a certain writer or company can guarantee quality by just publishing. Etc. I'm just as guilty of this as the next guy... No offense, but companies have different values and find different things important. Some are only willing to go so far as to make a profit, i'm sure that company X would sell a lot more of his products if only they actually used crack for their miniatures instead of lead ;-) Certain companies are using flood tactics to get a larger share of the shelf in the retail stores. Although the products might not be bad, they might be of inferior quality compared to products of companies who don't use the flood tactics. The products with the greatest amount of shelf space sell the most products... [/QUOTE]
