It seems that, historically, the only place to buy a PDF was from the manufacturer (or a select few online websites). If you wanted both a print and physical book, you were limited to what was available from the manufacturer. Retail stores that serve the player with play space, selection, and knowledge just could not offer a player a PDF and a book. We at Catalyst Game Labs have been working hard to change that.

Therefore we’re proud to announce the creation of Catalyst RED, our new Retailer Electronic Delivery system. With RED, retailers will be able to sell you copies of the core book PDFs along with your hard copies right at the store simply by providing your email address. And should you for some reason lose your PDF, you can easily request another download of the file, just like a online customer. We feel that Catalyst RED will finally allow that next step in customer satisfaction that you and the owners of your friendly local game store have been asking for.

Currently the system is in Alpha testing at select game stores across the country, and we plan to have the system available at more retailers later this year. For a list of retailers who currently offer Catalyst RED purchases see below:

ни хрена не понял, зачем это надо. Были бы это буки из мертвого дерева, я бы еще понял, но электронные копии и их перепродажа?
Что на б.шопе сервак массовые скачивания не тянет?
В итоге получится, что бкорпс вымрет, каждый из новых пдф продавцев будет иметь свой ассортимент, а покупатели региться и платить, региться и платить...
