[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 493196, member: 1753"] [b]Ok, im a business guy[/b] As such I noticed a few claims Wallis seems to make. he begins by blaming d20 for soft re-orders, as if it was a bad thing leading to the ultimate destruction of the industry. One interpretatation, more business/economics orientated, could be that the flood of new product is merely giving buyers more choices. Gamer A is still buying X dollars in product a month, he's just not buying YOUR crap anymore when there is better stuff out there. In the long run this will do to gaming exactlly what filesharing is doing to music. If you want sales your product better be GOOD. He makes the correct point that he would need to revise his business model to survive, but then tries to say that doing so would result in a lesser product. If thats the case he was right to leave, if he can't do it someone else will. This part cracks me up: And this: Could be anyone. The only CCG i can think of being close to (currently) 'succesfull' is L5R. EDIT: Oh yeah, and the number of people 3e has brought back to gaming is enormous. I can't count the number of 1e players who got out and then back in with the advent of 3e. Who does he think is buying all those PHB's? Is he trying to imply its all a big scam by some kind of 'd20 cult' reminiscent of 'Dianetics'? :D [/QUOTE]
