[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3006391, member: 892"] You have the causal order wrong: First, you go out of business, about 4 years from now. Second, you need money, badly, to pay your creditors and keep your houses and cars. Third, you realize you could make more money if you sold off your pdfs at cheaper prices, because more people will buy them then, and because they cost nothing to produce, since they are already made. Fourth, you lower the prices of the pdf "Rappan Athuk: Reloaded". Since you are going out of business anyhow, your argument (which I don't actually agree with, but let's leave that aside) that it will hurt your business to do so by diluting the value of the print versions, which might hurt your business, becomes inoperative. Fifth, I buy Rappan Athuk: Reloaded, the pdf, at a cheaper price than it is currently selling for. As for the first step, that is just my prediction about what will happen to most small publishers. Some will do well, but most will not. You guys may beat the odds, but I think I will wait four years and see. [/QUOTE]
