Context, it was a first printing hard cover copy of the prisoner of askban. That hurt, on a variety of levels. Still the right thing to do.

I found my old copies of a few Harry Potter books when cleaning up my office. It hurt a bit to do so but I thew them out. I don't want any part of that franchise that I used to love in my house anymore

And leave those profits on the table? No, better to make your product worse for those who would normally enjoy it. This will never have any negative consequences on our business. We are very smart.

With r/rpg only 1/10 th of your posts can be self promotion. That is a huge commitment for very little return, and that is the point.
Reddit often has the attitude “how dare you show me something I may be interested in”

Reddit is tricky, I did get one sale of Children With Wands from posting about it on r/rpg but also a ton of nasty comments. Reddit is often allergic to self promotion unless you are already successful and will only allow it if you are a member of that community. 1/2

God damnit, the absolute commitment to making everything just suck so badly would be commendable, except that the goal is to make everything suck

Does it ever bother you that the Muppets made 2 movies about classic literature and then just stopped doing that?

The Princess Bride, up until that point I had never read something that meta. It opened my eyes to what was possible when bending the conventions of the media you are working in.
It was already my favorite movie but the book let me have a deeper appreciation for it.
