The RPG Room: Glut in the RPG industry




G*M*S Magazine Podcast  Channel show

Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> At G*M*S Central we believe that there are too many products being sold as PDFs at the moment and that is contributing to a languishing industry with too many companies that can’t stand on their own two money feet because there aren’t enough people buying all games and supplements.<br> We know it is not an opinion shared by all, and we do believe everyone should have the right to publish whatever they want, but it is our opinion.<br> If to the amount of published material we add a website that is the central point of purchase for said games is a site with the potential to shape the way we buy and what we buy, and that there doesn’t seem to be a quality control point to start listing products on that site, we might see why we have a lot of problems in the RPG industry.<br> But of course, those opinions have to be substantiated and the best way to do it is to talk to the person responsible for that site… we are talking about <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/">Drivethrurpg.com</a> and the man in question is Steve Wieck, who is, according to Jim, one of the nicest guys in the industry.<br> Well… let’s find out if he is right and if the amount of material on their site is actually hurting the RPG business.<br> Hope you enjoy the show!<br> <br> <br> <br>  <br>
