I have no particular bone in this fight, but when I compare the price of the PDF ($ 38.99) it's equal to the discount for the Foundry module (59.99 - 21 = $38.99). You get the PDF for free if you buy the Foundry module, so how are you saving extra money by buying the PDF first?

I mentioned in an earlier post that I used a discount code for the purchase of a pdf. I saved about $8 by buying the pdf separately. Unless you need the Foundry module right now, keep an eye out for a pdf sale and get that first.

Again, you're NOT buying the collected version PDF. You are buying the FOUNDRY MODULE which comes WITH a free copy of the the PDF. There is a very clear distinction there.

I bought the collected pdf on its own, using a discount code to save a few bucks. I may as well have just donated that money to Paizo because I have no use for that product whatsoever and just did it for the reduced Foundry module price. I have a receipt showing the purchase of that pdf alone.

Tell me again how I did NOT buy the collected version pdf.

My frustration is not over what portion of the $60 module goes to what. It's over the $30 for the original AP that is now a waste of money. I could have just waited and gotten the AP pdf for free along with the Foundry module.

Since this is the policy I'll keep that in mind before buying future adventure path products.

Regardless of communication and expectations, this policy feels predatory and not at all customer-friendly. It's a policy that very clearly disincentivizes purchasing products as they come out, in favor of waiting until the eventual compilation pdf.

And if the response is, "well there wouldn't be a compilation pdf without the support of people buying the earlier product," then I think you can start to see why many of those early supporters are feeling frustrated at being left in the cold.

I do not feel lied to or misled by any prior communications. I just feel like I've wasted money on the adventure path that I already bought.

It's not even about getting a discount. That implies we're trying to pay less for a product we want. It's about being required to pay extra for a product we don't.

If I buy the pdf then the Foundry module is $21.

If I don't want or need the pdf and just want the Foundry module, then I have to pay the $39 extra for the pdf anyway.

It's framed like a discount, but when I have to buy the pdf either way then it's not a discount. It's just being forced to buy a product I don't want for the privilege of buying one that I do.

The only reasonable explanation for setting these prices is to squeeze as much money as possible out of existing, paying customers. Otherwise just set the Foundry module at $21 and the pdf at $39.

Definitely feels like a slap in the face to the people who don't need the new pdf because they already bought the original adventures.

Why not just have a $21 price for the Foundry module, and a separate $39 for the compiled pdf? Instead of making the module $60 and including the pdf for "free"?

This whole discount scheme is baffling.
