“We worked hard to find alternative means to keep these titles viable, including moving them to other companies. However, our efforts ultimately met with no success. We felt that it was time to fold our hand and let our customers know the final outcome.”

Vic Wertz was very candid about why Undefeated and Amazing Stories failed, offering insights that revealed a lot about how the magazine business works. He outlined three revenue streams that most magazines have — what Johnny Wilson had called the “three-legged stool”:

Newsstand sales, which are usually break even because newsstands are allowed returnability, and so constantly over order.

Subscription sales, which lose money for most magazines, but which Paizo managed to make a little money on, thanks to the special interest level of their magazines.

Advertising, which is what actually pays the bills for most magazines, but which Paizo had some issues with because they were getting money from unreliable hobbyist companies.
