But see, they are making their product different and for many, a better product.
Buying direct gets you more than resale does now. There are reasons to become a DVD client vs. 10 years ago, when you didnt need to buy from them.
I know not everyone agrees, and the benefits may not warrant a direct buy, but it does definitely sway people.
Look at the whole notion of taking TOTWL and making it an exclusive lounge for
DVC owners who are part of the membership extras program.
Of course..before anyone says it,..it’s not worth thousands of dollars, and it’s not guarantee….but it still does give you something that resale can’t.
I think this may also mean is that what we perceive as the goals of DVD, aren’t necessarily what they want.
Thats why I am convinced that restrictions won’t be abandoned, and that they are willing to go up and down with the incentives.
