So instead of getting the bundle for free, you would need to pay $8 for it. I'd still join the chain most of the time. It's not free but I always felt we were kind of taking advantage of Baen with the chains. So I'm OK with the change. Kudos for Baen for allowing the chains up to this point and for continuing to let these chains exist even in its modified form.
But we'll need to make *sure* everybody understands the new rules before we start the next chain. I think in the worst case, if somebody joins a chain and then doesn't realize they need to pay $8, and then doesn't want to pay $8, they should be able to just forward the coupon code they received on to the next person.
