I'm just getting back into ASL so haven't actually bought any CH products, although I've looked at quite a few with interest. I never pull the trigger, however, for the simple reason that it is never clear what exactly I'm buying...CH posts one low-res picture of the product's cover, but no pix of the content (counters, boards, etc.) and usually a very general, vague very rah-rah description of what I'd be getting. I'll pass.
Kinda the same here: I've looked but the lack of promotional pics and info were not inspiring, provoking a search of opinions on the product, which were almost universally very negative.
And like with ebay or Kijiji, if the seller can't be bothered to provide decent quality and quantity of pics and descriptions, it's not worth the hassle.
The breadth and depth of negative opinion has to count for something, so I've never taken the bait.
Other TPP have done stellar work, so you know where you stand with them.
The past couple of decades have seen a real golden era of ASL product, both official and TPP.
I am curious if CH has seen the same level of increased engagement as others, I really haven't paid them any notice for years.
I'm not a hater, just haven't seen any compelling reasons to consider their product, especially now that there is so much available.
20 years ago it was different, before and just after MMP revived the official product there wasn't anywhere near the amount of products, and the subject coverage was similarly limited.
Not so now.
Has the increased competition been good or bad for CH?
I suspect bad, but you never know, and I'm sure there are still completists who want everything.
