If you look at the comments on the earlier post, you'll see that long thread between Rob Donoghue & me. We circled each other, but by the end of it I finally got what he was saying, and decided that he was right. Now that you point it out, though, I see that I didn't make being convinced clear in the thread, probably because it hit me while I was thinking about it on the train ride home. Something to remedy. Thank you for that. - Ryan Gareth,

I'm not grokking the difference. Honest curious here — not trying to rub your face in it, seriously — but how does this jibe with your statements in comments to your original ICONS post, where you said:

“This is why I won’t support such a business model”,

referring specifically to time-limited pre-orders?

I’m not grokking the difference.

I'm truly glad that the book brought something positive into your day. I hope it manages to find an audience. As you say, it's not a game and not a guidebook, so it may have some trouble finding a home with the audience. We'll see. Thanks for telling people about it, though. That's a great help to us.
