[QUOTE="PJ-Mason, post: 1590637, member: 12285"] Well, i sure have a headache now! First, RCanning. That post with all the info went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank You. Second, I have only bought a handful of pdfs since they started doing them. Mostly for stuff i didn't want to pay full price for. So i am not a huge pdf consumer, but i figured i still had a right to vote. Third, add my resounding NO! to the list of naysayers. The fact that these rgp companies (am i correct in thinking its not just D20 companies?) are trying to force us to deal with this hassle by supplying only this pdf house with your material stinks pretty bad. Shame on you. You'll find my arm DOESN'T twist that way. Fourth, some of these companies say that pdf piracy has gotten bad. Then some say that pdf sales don't have any real affect on thier profits. If they are that inconsequential (pdf sales that is), then why give a darn about piracy. Seems more like EGOnomics than economics to me. Fifth, some of you Game companies say that its only for those few that can't get your print products. That sounds fine on the surface. But how has rpgnow, or the pdf services that some of you companies already were using, suddenly become so useless? Why go with this consumer unfriendly format? At the very least it certaintly isn't consumer-FRIENDLY. Sixth, it seems like a whole bunch of you decided to do this at once so that you would have strength in numbers and the d20 consumers would have to go along with it, no matter how much they disliked it. IF that is the case (notice i said IF!)......don't bet on it. The mob CAN be pushed too far. Its not easy, but it does happen. Seventh, has anyone created a list of the rpg companies who have gone in on this deal. I'd loved to see it if anyone has. I'll give you just one guess as to why i'd like to see it. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
