- Any GO World subscribers probably already know that GO World is trouble,
- and is in danger of being cancelled. If you want GO World to continue
- publication, I strongly suggest that you subscribe or extend your
- subscription at the new rate, even if you still have issues left on
- your sub. Right now the response has been largely positive, and I am
- cautiously optimistic.
-
- At the previous subscription rate, for every customers spent on GO World,
- we lost about fifty cents. This might be okay if it were to grow to the
- point where costs dropped dramatically, but this has not happened. From
- the point of Ishi Press as a business, why should we lose money and waste
- John Power's work as a translator, when instead he could work on books
- which would be very profitable?
-
- This is not a sales pitch. I feel that GO World is an important resource
- for the Western GO community, and I would be unhappy if it were to cease.
- But business is business, and a business will not continue to do things
- that lose money. If you want to see GO World continue publishing, use
- the power of your patronage, and subscribe.
