[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4156377, member: 10095"] That sucks, but it's the peril of subscribing to a service. It wouldn't be the first time a service has died in the midst of my participation, and I doubt it will be the last, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, and I accept that. Know what you're getting into before you get into it is all I can suggest. Sure, I can do that... with some shows, but not all. Carnivale, for example, was an awesome show that got the rug pulled and now can only be found on DVDs or pirated on the internet. Comparing someone like Paizo or Goodman to WotC, in terms of how much revenue their products generate, is silly. If WotC started undercutting game stores with reduced-cost PDFs, the stores would suffer greatly because WotC holds such a huge market share. If Paizo did the same, the stores probably wouldn't notice at all, because most don't carry things unless it's from one of the big dogs (and no, Paizo is not a big dog). WotC needs retail stores far more than any of the d20 publishers, so they can't afford to alienate retailers and distributors. Might be because you don't pay as much attention to this stuff. I remember a huge furor going on when DriveThruRPG hit it big, and they explained why they weren't selling reduced-cost PDFs. I mean, even Paizo sells over-priced PDFs, but I don't see complaints about those. [/QUOTE]
