[QUOTE="Dana_Jorgensen, post: 1145385, member: 12962"] Why not deal with SV Games? 1.) They don't care. Long before I started selling through RPGnow, I tried contacting them a number of times. This was over a year ago, with last april being the last time I made an attempt. I still have received no response. 2.) Inappropriate Delivery Method A file broken up into segments that you need to rejoin before you can decompress the product and enjoy it? I don't imagine many customers were very happy about that, either. 3.) Lack of information SV Games doesn't provide any information that even allows publishers to take them into consideration. Through this thread, I see further lack of information, which to any publisher, should raise red flags about the trustworthiness of the company. After all, it is run by a former corporate finance lawyer, the same type of person that gave the okay for the enron and worldcom scandals. 4.) 50% discount No publisher should be giving ANY retailer the same discount a low-volume distributor should get. You should never give any retailer a discount better than what they would get by using a distributor. 35% should be your cutoff point, as that it the worst discount offered by any distributor. And with the lack of information, I never would have known this if not for this thread. 5.) Loss of control There's no control over price discounts on SV Games? With PDFs, that's unacceptible. I hope they don't screw publishers over by adjusting the 50% you get based on the price they decide to sell at... On a side note, what other non-publisher sites sell PDFs? As far as I knew, RPG.net, RPGNow, and SV Games were the only ones, and as it stands now, RPG.net doesn't do PDFs anymore and SV Games demands an unacceptible dicount rate. [/QUOTE]
