[QUOTE="Arashi Ravenblade, post: 2404475, member: 15630"] Star wars had insane prices, one of the game shops i go to cant move them and he cant lower them, so there they sit. i dont care if it is an expensive lisence, Mr. Lucas need to not be so greedy and try and gut his faithful fans (especially after 2 horrendous prequals and one fairly descent one). WOTC books are too expensive as it is. alot of people i know (though not enough to put a dent in there sales) wont even touch a WOTC product bc of the price, so if they dont buy from Amazon or some similar store WOTC still doesnt get money, if they buy from discount online places WOTC still gets there money and games keep coming out as opposed to higher prices and no one buying and the product stopping outright. Sorry but im not going to spend more money to keep someone in business, your not going to spend 5 bucks on gas because you know the people or like what the people offer who own the gas station when you can get if from joe smoe down the road for 2.50 or less. Come thanksgiving your not going to spend 2.5 a lb on a turkey when you can get it for a 1 a lb at the major retail chain. Your not going to spend 800 a month on rent in a tiny little apartment when you can rent one of the same quality accross town for 600. Your not going to keep your phone provider that charges you a dollar for long distance when you can pay a solid 20 a month no matter your long distance. Its all about competition and in this country if you cant compete you go out of business, i want to own my own game shop but realisticly i would go under in a year or less i realise that, i know i cant compete with 23 dollar book that i would have to sell for 40.
