[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8196390, member: 2525"] I won't speak to Roll20, but I don't understand the logic here. Ignore Covid, and just look at Amazon sales numbers pre-Covid. Amazon has not had any "price shenanigans" for 2e which they didn't also do with 1e. But both have fairly consistent trend lines. Of course it blips up and down with price changes, but there is an overall clear trend over periods of time. And we can see that trend - it was ranking in the 1000-2000 range for many many years on Amazon for 1e despite the price changes and despite the humble bundles and such Paizo did over those years. And now it's ranking over 3000 consistently, even prior to Covid, despite price changes and humble bundles and such. That's meaningful data. It cannot just be hand waived away easily. Can this really have been the expectation for sales that Paizo had, that they would lose that large a percentage of their Amazon sales in the edition change with no announcement about a change in marketing strategy or anything like that indicating this was an intentional thing?
