[QUOTE="Roudi, post: 1827067, member: 12423"] Hmm. Kudos to the drops in price of your other products - gotta give credit where credit is due. I'm sure your customers appreciate this as well. However, I need to debunk two assumptions. 1) I highly doubt RPGNow intended the minimum purchase amount hike as a cue for publishers to re-evaluate the value of their products. At best, it's acknowledging you didn't consider the option of raising prices by now - at worse you're using this as a convenient excuse to raise them. Not accusing Alternate Reality Publishing of anything. My understanding of the situation is that the three who manage RPGNow are trying to ensure the percentage they earn from sales covers their costs for processing transactions. It certainly doesn't seem like any cue or message to the publishers who use their site. Rather, it appears more like a reflection of their rising operating costs. 2) Perhaps you haven't yet associated me with The Brood (I know Dana's heard of them) or with MODERNIZED. While Gallantry Productions, the publisher of MODERNIZED, has yet to embark on a "resale" venture, we certainly have the "production of materials for consumer" part down-pat. So, please, don't guess like that. You just embarass yourself. [/QUOTE]
