I really hope this would not be the case but I think that with the move to sell directly, Code Red will sell less.
Right, they will earn more money with each unit sold but the lack of stock from online retailers and physical stores will bypass the casual buyer.
Also, let´s not forget, at least in my case, that the titles are way more expensive now.
With selling directly, Code Red will only appeal to the ones that are really true followers of the company. I can give an example of an french internet frend that I have that didn´t even knew the news...
That and the fact that Bill rarely updates his site, and only his blog.
In the end that is Bill´s choice and I respect him for that but I believe that in time he will see that, in this day and age, a worldwide listing of our products is better that a single blog and a couple of forums.
I will not download any of his releases, first because I´m against piracy, and second because I have the means to get the movies, but I still refuse to buy something for 25$ when I usually got it for 15$/17$.
