[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8903252, member: 50895"] I'm not going out of business, in fact I'm growing and have been doing this for 15 years. I'm a one person company, though I publish for two authors besides myself, and have used contractors in the past, but I mostly do all the work myself. Nobody is driving me out of business. While it was 14 years ago, WotC contacted my printing company which I ran at the time about becoming a print-on-demand servicer for Star Wars maps, but then it turned out that the Lucas License prevented that. What I'm saying as since the beginning of my publishing/cartography business I've done work for Paizo, Legendary Games, almost WotC, E.N. Publishing, Kobold Press, Gygax magazine and dozens of other small publishers. I even created all the multi-player maps for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Strategy Guide - so all the biggest corporations in our general industry have sought out my business at one time or another. They aren't driving me out, they are inviting me in. Maybe you can broad brush paint the majority of small business, but that brush isn't anywhere near me. I'm not a big company, but I am more successful all the time. Businesses large and small must adapt all the time, if you cannot adapt, you're doomed to fail. Those failed businesses doomed themselves. [/QUOTE]
