[QUOTE="marketingman, post: 1586453, member: 19249"] Ok so is this just typical reaction from gamers? Is it a verbal minority trying to act like a majority. Since my retirement I have only bought one book about gaming and that was from Mongoose there OGL handbook which for some reason get a lot of use on Sundays game. Nothing wrong with a cut and dried pole but what about later. I might start liking PD's more when I can lay on my couch and read them ( Cmon price reductions on xp tablets) The industry has changed it was due for a change has all industries. Consumers are going to go with the site that they choose for the product that they choose. People have complained for years about the price of Games Workshop Minis but they still buy them. Big thing is that the industry just douubled, which is a healthy sign for it. To me it looks that the DRM is just and additional step. It more that the product is now exclusive with a price increase abd that extra step that has everyone drawing lines in the sand. It seems to me like time is repeating itself peolpe putting thier heart and soul into memographed fanzines have been repalced by the small PDF publishers who are plugging away to put thier heartand soul into good product for thier fellow gamers. So this exclusivity really won't really hurt them. The major companies won't be hurt because they view PDF's as a tricle compared to print sales. But what do I know I passed on AOL at .14 cents boy has my wife never let me live that one down. [/QUOTE]
