How would you change this? What would be a good policy? There was a suggestion that Paizo give a PDF copy for free with a hard copy. They could do this for future purchases, but what about the millions(?) of books already sold?
So I see the following two options, taking Dragon's Demand as an example:
Option 1:
PDF: 17.99 (with credit for already owned PDF)
RW: 9.99
Option 2:
RW: 26.99 (no PDF required or given)
Which is better for the consumer?
I would allow folks to buy for RW or for FG, etc., without having to buy the PDF. Why would I want the PDF if I have the content in RW? This is especially true for adventure material. If I have an adventure or adventure path in RW, I don't need or want to book or (especially) the PDF.
To me, it just seems like a weird, needlessly complicated requirement.
If I played Pathfinder, however, I would likely still buy it, despite my grumbling because the overall cost is still not bad for having it in RW. Of course if I ever start playing PF, I have the advantage of starting fresh and will have no reason to spend money on the books (except maybe whatever PF's version of the PHB is for use at-table when someone else is running the game).
