[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4742858, member: 14197"] Well, this sucks. I found out about this because I had PHB2 and all three of the P-series in my RPGNow shopping cart (along with other products) and now they are gone. I am on the road right now, travelling, and I wanted to download my LEGITIMATE PDF PURCHASES to put on my laptop and read while I am on the road. And now I can't? I have been a WOTC apologist for a while now, and this really ticks me off. When I buy PDFs, I buy PDFs in bulk. What that means is that when I am shopping, I fill my cart at RPGNow with WOTC and 3PP products over the course of a month. And then I buy in one fell swoop. This usually comes around the time the WOTC product is released each month. You wanna help the 3PP? Well, this just hurt them. The torrent sites will still get the books up, there will still be pirated copies out there, and you will force legitimate pruchasers of your PDFs to find another alternative. I use the PDFs more than I use my print copies. I buy the print ones for the shelf and the game table 2x per month, I prepare my game with the PDFs 5x per week. Your decision is eerily like stepping back into the fear-mongering and information control of the middle ages. Why can't someone like me buy a PDF of a WOTC book in 2009? This is a bonehead decision. And now I can't go download copies of the PDF THAT I ALREADY OWN. Bad move. Seriously bad move. I need a cookie. [/QUOTE]
