No I just went through that math. Maximizing purchases isn't in fact what results in maximum profit. In the example given, if 100 units of customers each buy 2 books, and another 10 units of customers each buy 20 books, while each group of customers bought the same total number of books, the former made far more profit for the book company than the later due to overhead, fixed costs to create a book, and savings on bulk printing and distribution.
There was a lot more to my post than what you noted, but ok.
It's not a hobby though, it's a business owned by a publicly traded company. It's literally in their mandate to prioritize profit on behalf of shareholders. They have an actual legal obligation to their shareholders to do so. If you don't want to buy from someone which has that mandatory obligation, buy and play a game from a hobbyist or independent creator. Which is what I've been saying for a while now, that the things you say you care about the most don't match well with this particular set of products so why are you still focused on this particular set of products this many years later? I'm not complaining, I am really asking that question.
5E could use a "lite" version that is just one book - and not be a starter set.
There's literally no value in arguing with you about it. If you disagree, fair enough.
I don't buy from WotC. Haven't in a while for the most part. I far prefer smaller creators. But the game I play is still largely based on WotC's game, so there are plenty of relevant to me topics being discussed in the WotC 5e forums. I am lately trying to avoid 5.5 threads at least.
To be clear, I like and enjoy most of what you have to say (even when I disagree sometimes). I was really just curious.
None of them is a witch. Relax.
