[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 3473043, member: 6616"] Yes. But WotC hasn't alienated the online community. They have alienated a part of the online community. And we don't know how large that part is. The level of noise is not easily translated into clear numbers as to how many will skip the service. For example, the online petition has 290 signatures as of this post. 290 people feel strongly enough to sign the petition. The online community is significantly larger than that. Of course not everyone angered by the decision will sign the petition, but if 10% of those angered sign, it would mean that around 3000 people are really, really pissed about this. On the other hand, most subscribers are probably angry, but I'd wager not all of them are. For them getting Dragon and Dungeon was a way to get new D&D content. Now they'll just get that from someplace else. And we don't know how many of them are also part of the online community, but we can at least say that the online community as a group is larger than the group consisting of Dragon and Dungeon subscribers. The rest might be annoyed, sad, indifferent, happy, or just not know about it. Or even not care. What will they do? We don't know. There is no way to say how the online community as a group will act. Or rather there is. We can wait and see. Time will tell, as always. /M [/QUOTE]
