[QUOTE="Allister, post: 4549578, member: 1082"] This thread is kind of funny. On the MTG boards, there's ALWAYS griping about how WOTC favours the brick and mortar stores (from the cost of MTG:Online to the tournament structure, WOTC has tried to boost the FLGS). Now here, we have a thread where people are moaning abot WOTC trying to kill off the FLGS through D&D. As for WOTC's dislike of internet retailers, I thought it wasn't because of the price point (WOTC gets the same cut if they sell their boosters to either a brick & mortar or internet store). It's the belief that internet stores don't drive the business for future sales. Such as providing environments for gamers to meet such as tournaments and even for a way to capture a gamer's attention (I've known a couple of people that got into MTG from going into a FLGS for another game and being intrigued by watching some guys play MTG) [/QUOTE]
