[QUOTE="eyebeams, post: 3393116, member: 9225"] I'd say it was something like that. What's most likely is that it was developed under the assumption that there'd just be a small amount of extra material that the company would put up on their website, but when it went into production, layout just couldn't squeeze all that material in, or there was a budgetary reason to reduce the page count. Production quickly added an additional index and sent it off. Why? Because this is the way books are actually put together, as opposed to imagining some kind of bizarre marketing strategy is in the offing. And speaking of that, that motive doesn't even make any sense because the product catalog listing [B]does not[/B] in fact mention web extras of any kind. In other words, to have any idea that there's the chance of additional content of any kind, you have to actually open the book. And again, we get to the issue that the web content is literally unrelated to over 99% of the content of the print release. Actually, we're talking about somewhere between 1/115th and 1/120th of the print release being the point of contention. Based on the MSRP White Wolf sure ripped this guy off -- for about 35 cents US based on wasted page count due to web references. Just remember: This entire discussion is about 35 cents worth of product. [/QUOTE]
