It's a sympton of competitiveness. Basically, we give a lot of breaks to members and cut prices to the bone, so there is not a huge pot of dough left over for the SR Magazine. If we asked people to pay more for it then less people would join. Anyway, there is much more in depth stuff available online and the magazine really only serves as a reference to browse quickly and easily on paper.
Personally I think it's great to be able to pick up a list of parts and games and look stuff up there and then, to look for bargains etc.
Do you think we should stop sending it out?
