From a practical POV, who is going to print a 1000 pages? How much would it cost on a home printer.
Anyway, aside from WOTC probably expecting this, I dont think it will ruin the offical launch.
Back to business as usual, so what about those badge minions... |
I know someone who is printing it out, but that's because he works at a print shop and can do it for free. He also has it on preorder.
I'll repost my opinion, since it seems to have been drowned out in the shouting:
I have no small gameshop. None. At all. Not "in the next city over." Try "the next continent over." I would have to swim across the bleedin' Pacific Ocean to find the nearest game shop.
As such, "supporting the little guy" is a moot point to me. It simply does not apply. And given that I'm overseas, I likely will not see my (preordered 3 months ago) books until at LEAST a week after the street date. And that's if for some bizarre reason customs doesn't decide to hold on to my package for an extra month in the interest of national security, like they did my
birthday cake.*
In my case, is it unethical to download the pdfs?
