[QUOTE="Barak, post: 3005883, member: 3028"] I'm not sure I quite understand Clark's argument. Well, no, I'm pretty sure I [i]understand[/i] it, I'm just not sure I agree. When a product is limited release, to me it's the actual product. And maybe I'm behind the curve, but I view the PDF version not only as a different product, but as a different -type- of product. Part of the appeal of a limited product, in my view, is from a "collector's" standpoint. It's a bit of a feather in one's cap to have it, knowing only 999 (in this case) other people have it. To some, speculation also plays a part, as the product can easily go up in value in a couple years. PDFs.. Not so much. Heck, the number of PDFs sold aren't even limited. So there's no easy way to know how many will be sold or what not. Sure, Necromancer could release numbers, but taht isn't really the same. Resale value? Ah. Fughetaboutit. So I really don't see buyers of the print product getting upset over a cheaper PDF. But that's just me. I wonder if anyone who actually bought the print version (except that guy who got it for 22$, of course. :) ) and that'd be upset over a cheaper PDF would care to chime in? Of course, in the end, it doesn't matter. It's their product, and they are of course free to do what they want. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
