They are missing a big point...
You cant collect web pages.
You don't believe how friggin' true that is. Seriously, I liked Paizo a lot until now, but I liked Dragon and Dungeon much more than Paizo. And liked to have the magazine in Real Matter(TM).
I'm a student. I'm flying home every holiday, bringing my magazines with me to have something to read and share with my group at home. For the flights. I've done so every friggin' flight. The summer flight is probably the last time I'm doing this. Sad.
And the D&D target group
is a collecting lot - otherwise you can't explain why WotC gets so many, often very narrow, sourcebooks sold, if not for the collecting vibe.
And to close my argumentation: I liked Paizo, but the magazines more, and if WotC has just overtaken them, I'd be fine - I know it's business, and yeah. But WotC are not doing some business stuff. They're pulling a collector's hobby away, without any replacement.
But Paizo... gives me a replacement. Guess why I liked Paizo. Guess why I know *love* 'em.

On topic:
I don't really know why they're that ecletic. And why they can't tell. It just sounds like some damage control, harping on the "we're-all-gaming-buddies"-vibe. I've seen too much advertisment, marketing scams, and rose-tinted glasses to buy that stuff.
Seriously, don't tell me, that you think it's great. Of course you guys think it, otherwise
you wouldn't have done it! Give me something I can judge, something to convince me, something I can see and think the same.
