Second-hand PDFs

RE: Second-hand PDFs
Don't be concerned, just air it out. I'm surprised this conversation hasn't happened before regarding PG's digital downloads, to be honest.

The problem I have with selling a PDF, whether you keep a copy or not, is that PDFs are not subject to wear like material goods are.

Obviously unlike printed wargames you can use it as much as you please without impacting its condition.

To this point the prices AP demands for PDFs are so low that I suspect they are affordable for all who wants them, but removing PDFs from sale troubles me.

Regarding the poll choices, there are a lot of other directions in the decision tree:
  • if you made a PnP copy would you sell the digital copy and keep the PnP copy?\
  • would you sell the digital copy and destroy the PnP copy?
  • would you make a PnP copy for someone else? for free or not?
  • etc.

AP is printing games again so this is less of risk for the present, but there will certainly come a time when only the digital copies remain with no AP to buy them from.

If you use Steam you'll know that resale of the games you "buy" is expressly forbidden by Valve. Whether this would hold up in court is, I believe, undetermined.
...came for the cardboard, stayed for the camaraderie...
