An ICv2 Release. 'You can only be nickel and dimed so far,' one retailer told ICv2, as we tackled one of the tough issues facing game retailers in the next issue of the ICv2 Retailers Guide to Games (#11), due out soon. With two important suppliers to the hobby channel cutting their discounts over the past couple of months, retailers and distributors were happy to share their thoughts on the issue; we also publish statements from the two game companies involved.
Although most of the discussion focused on the question of whether retailer prices should go up, or wholesale discounts go down, other suggestions were also offered, along with concerns about the future.
This is only one of several special features in this issue; watch for more announcements, coming soon!
