[QUOTE="GameWyrd, post: 1145996, member: 1103"] I've just got a job! Woo! Now. Now. I'm not off topic. Not really. The bosses I work for charge silly amounts of money per hour. Whenever they have to do something the first question they ask themselves is "is it worth my time?". In other words is it worth spending hours doing something to save a few bucks when I could be spending it to earn hundreds more. Google. Here are some sample Google searches: [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=rpg+pdf]rpg pdf[/url] [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=d20+pdf]d20 pdf[/url] [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=the+best+place+to+buy+d20+pdf]the best place buy d20 pdf[/url] I could go on. And on. You'll have to have a higher Google stamina than I do to find a SVGames listing there. This is for the consumer. I can only guess at all the better things a publisher could be doing than filling in forms and chasing up sales for a retailer that pays less. I think SVGames has a lot of catching up to do with RPGNow. Let's not forget features like the banner exchange for gold members or the &src= attribute in the URLs. From what I've read; SVGames controls your prizes whereas at RPGNow you can use the &src attribute to do special offers and other fan-engaging things. GameWyrd's a fan site. I link to RPGNow rather than SVGames. Why? I can be pretty damn sure the PDF is in RPGNow. Even if I don't have the PDF's ID number in my database I can configure the hyperlink to work through RPGNow's search function and my user will get to the PDF product that way. Competition is good. I'm Scottish. Adam Smith lived up the road from me. I like competition That doesn't mean I'd encourage publishers to be self sacroficing in the name of competition. Find the business model that works for you and help that one succeed. At the minute publishers seem to get a far better deal with RPGNow and if I was a publisher then I'd do what I can to maintain that in the status quo. Right now, I don't see any advantage in helping SVGames edge into the market with a less attractive deal. Mind you, ENWorld might be the exception. SVGames buy ad banners here so selling EN Publishing products from them becomes a symbiotic circle. Hmm. Unless these SVGames banners encourage people who'd usually buy the PDFs from RPGNow to buy them from SVGames instead - that would be bad - since EN Publishing would make less. [/QUOTE]
