[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 2293663, member: 9298"] Um, dude. The first response you get asks the simple question any customer would. "Why would I buy you product as opposed to another one?" Your answer was "Your reply sums up the difficulty of the market." Absolutely not. Thats the REALITY of any business. Nobody is just gonna give you money for a product because YOU think its well made. The Dark Soviet ad is very poorly written and when a poster comments on it you want to chalk it up to "canadian english" (what?) and your "state of exhaustion"? That doesn't fly. If you want to try to make money, you have to be professional. I also went and googled the Wetwar product. First, I only found it being sold on a European site. Sounds like a problem.Most PDF-buyers use RPGNow. Second, its a PDF board-game, which is going to attract less interest as most board-game buyers want a pretty board and pieces, not paper. RPGs were the perfect thing to use a PDF distribution system as they are just words and pictures, but a board game? no. Third, the writing in the Wetwar blurb was even worse. There is no way anyone would buy a product from someone with so little a command of the language. One would assume that the rules will be impossible to understand. You seem to want to lay the blame at the foot of the consumers, or the industry, or even videogames (what?) instead of where it belongs. With you. [/QUOTE]
