I think Steve's saying that they're overpriced from a player's point
of view, for what one receives in comparison to many other games out
there.

But I also accept your point - that it doesn't seem to have hurt KJC
none... ;-)

I'm by no means a big fan of KJC's but it's worth adding that most of
their advertising seems to be outside the mainstream PBM hobby and
designed to bring in fresh blood (as are their simplistic games). Now
this is no doubt because newcomers have no experience of other games
so have little to compare their prices against, but surely sooner or
later many of these find their way into the mainstream hobby, which
has to be a benefit to everyone?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that KJC has single-handedly built the
UK PBM market, but it has most certainly contributed a great deal.
