r/DriveThruRPG

I have a trend that's been running for almost 2 years now, of at least one sale per day, basically unbroken for 24 months in a row. It's been very, very reliable.

But from the 1st of October I've gotten 3 sales total. I understand that demand comes and goes and so on. But I'm a veteran in online sales and e-commerce, and this is weird, not just a matter of "Buddy, people might just not want to buy your fancy PDFs anymore", this feels like something else.

Anyone else noticed something similar?

I've finally got a few products up, and people are downloading/buying them. I'm so grateful, but now I'm curious how many people are actually A) Reading them B) Running them C) Running them multiple times?

Is there any old posts, articles, or reports on customer use from DriveThruRPG, DMsGuild, and the like?

Anyone try to poll this information themselves?

What about you? When you get a product, what are the odds you'll

1. Never open it
2. Read it
3. Run it
4. Run it a few times

I've been mostly getting free or PWYW stock art and adventures. I'm trying to make a point to read each adventure to learn, as I don't get to play much, I doubt I'll run more than a few of them. As for the art, I'd say I try to "read" them, but I haven't "run" any into my own work yet.
