Agreed. I would not put down the ideal of a hacked DDI like program or at the very lest a character builder hack. Some may be floating around. Once ya throw the gauntlet down your just begging someone to hack it. And they will just say they can say "Look I post this first!" Heck the last starwars book was in PDF form and on file shareing within 12 hours of hitting the street.
Not endorsing this or anything it's just the way it is

Also agreed. The first GSL did NOT fail. It worked just as it was meant to work. It drove people away from 3PP and kept 3PP out of Wotc's pond.
That would be not only hilarious, but sweet sweet karma.
You gotta figure, a hacker/programmer type could probably reverse engineer the thing in about 1/10 the time it took WOTC to develop it in the first place, right? Once it hits the torrents, that prong of the 3pp assault is dead.

how would that work...I have to download a illigal copy of the builder, then eaither the company must support said illegal program (good luck), or I have to wait for others to fill it in...
I doubt we will see this ever...inless I missed something

I'm sure there are ways around the verification. If windows XP hacks can happily download all the latest updates and pass the verification tests with flying colors despite being wholly pirated, the DDI material couldn't be all that difficult (IANAP/I am not a programmer).

Cheering on hacking the Character builder, among other things?

Well we or at lest I was not cheering it on but talking about if it could be done. I know they builder is done on fileshareing, kinda hard to miss really. Then we moved into if it really could be done. As was poited out if ya can hack microsoft ya can hack Wotc.
Which is really a derail of the thread, so we should drop it. Sorry
