I am not being inconsistent. I have made assumptions in neither case. I treat the two different media differently, for reasons that I have explained above. CH is an unusual case in that it has playtested products and in some cases still publishes playtested products (usually those submitted by outside groups, like the San Marino folks), as well as publishing products that do not require playtesting (such as map sets). It also highlights another reason why I treat the two media differently: you lose nothing by downloading some free digital thing and playing it yourself. You stand to lose a lot if you pay through the nose for a bad product. So it is more important to include write-ups of physical products. I've been consistent about this policy for many years, too.It's your site, you can list or not list whatever items you damn well choose. I'm not going to stop reading your write-ups. You should accept, however, that your approach is inconsistent. You make an unresearched assumption about one company's practices, you make exactly the same assumption about a different company's practices, and yet the products from the two companies are treated differently, apparently only because one is a physical product and the other isn't -- even though you say that doesn't matter. The evidence of what you do doesn't match what you say.
