3) They don't care much about the art and are rushing making tutorials nowadays to be able to sell as many as possible in an as short time as possible to as many people as possible. On top of that, they all majorly complain about piracy while they should realize they are the ones responsible for that. All the time they spent complaining about it, they could as well made up strategies to reduce it instead.

Honestly, only a handful of their releases are actually great sources for learning good magic, but in those cases Point 1 as mentioned by Albert often comes into play.

Let's compare them to Penguin Magic. Penguin has a different, way less commercial approach (I don't like the way they advertise their featured effects in the same way as the others and thereby hide the really helpful products but that's on a sidenote). Nonetheless, they are what a magic store on the web should be like. A better example would be Magic.org. Both of them don't just sell overly-hyped effects, but also sell quality sources as recommended by most top magicians.

Wouldn't be much of a problem for the ones I listed to sell some quality sources in their stores too, even while they didn't produce those themselves.
