Since we maintain the data files for all WizKids games, here is as good as
place as any to post questions about WizKids data files. :-)
Back when Mage Knight first came out and WizKids gave us permission to
write Army Builder data files for the game, they requested that we NOT
output the click level data on printouts. The logic was simply that viewing
the click data during force construction made sense to help optimize the
force. However, during gameplay, the click data should NOT be available,
since it could be construed as an unfair advantage by an opponent.
With the switch to Card Vault and inclusion of all the new WizKids games,
all the licensing remained basically the same. If there's a strong cry for
including this information within Card Vault, we can ask WizKids to
reconsider their position. However, I personally still think the logic is
valid, so I'm hesitant to ask WizKids unless there's strong support for the
change. :-)
As for the electronic license being the same price, Abilio is 100% on
target. There's a significant investment in developing and maintaining all
the electronic licensing and ordering mechanisms. And having different
price points is a nuisance to manage. In addition, we're committed to
supporting the local retailers, and discounted prices for online sales
would undercut the retailers that sell and promote our products. Combining
all those factors, we've chosen to just sell the electronic license at the
same price.
Thanks, Rob
