Submission + - Pathfinder's d20 Revamp Sold Out (paizo.com)

Loopy1492 writes: "

Ten days before the launch of their much-anticipated Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Paizo Publishing today announced that the first print run of the book has sold out, with all preordered copies on their way to stores for an August 13 release. With preorders more than five times greater than for any previous product in Paizo's seven-year history, orders for the Core Rulebook continue to mount even as the company speeds to produce another print run. Paizo.com has retained enough copies to handle all paizo.com subscriptions and pre-orders.

According to the Paizo newsletter, it seems as if, after a long time of offering the Beta of their d20 revamp as a download, Paizo is proving wrong the opinion that offering your stuff for free doesn't work. It has worked for them and they have sold out on the hardcopy of their new rulebook which is, in this jaded DM's opinion, a massive improvement on the 3.5 rules-set."

I understand, though. I, personally, don't code for Opera because... uh... it's Opera and I don't care if Opera users can see my site properly. Safari, I think I can understand because form elements can render real funky in Safari and sometimes some javascript events explode in Safari. I am sure they're working on it, but it'll take time.

Maybe. I'm just hoping that this is only the beginning. Hopefully more and more people and companies will decide that their applications no longer support IE6 and Microsoft will make the final decision not to support IE6. As a web developer, fortunately it would make my job easier, but unfortunately, it would also make my job easier. IE6 = great job security.

That's true and Bill made less money because of it. He could operate the same way he on the web as he did in papers. He wouldn not have to worry about the artistic constraints put on him by the newspaper industry, and still make money from advertisements and selling coffee table books, the same way he did when he was in the papers.
