The FLGS vs Internet Sales. Asmodee, Privateer Press, and Mayfair

I had a really long piece to say about internet sales vs FLGS sales following Asmodee North America's recent moves to protect the FLGS, and then W. Eric Martin went and made a long post of his own that made most of the same points I'd intended to make and made them better than I had, so I'm going to direct you there instead.

When I posted the  link to this on Plus, several people reshared and ran with it and I saw a lot of very interesting discussions with very good points on both sides.

Then Privateer Press took action of their own, and similar discussion popped up and spread.

And, of course, Black Diamond Games had their say, as well.

I'll probably have more to say about this at a later date, but start with those three posts.
