I fear this is a bad move, @Morrus . The things you mention are the benefits earned by copper subscribers. Silver subscriber benefits specifically list Zeitgeist as one of the main benefits, meaning that the AP isn't so much of a bonus, but a bargained-for benefit. The quoted statement trivializes the silver and gold subscription levels, which are clearly aimed at the AP, among other things.
I'll always suggest different options and point people to the many different ways of obtaining our stuff. Different people have different needs, and that's why we have a whole range of different options - from different ways to actually make the purchases, to different locations you can do it, to different formats you can obtain the products in, including PDFs and softcovers. The EN World subscription method isn't just an AP subscription, though - it gets you three APs, a pile of other products, now TO SLAY A DRAGON, plus a slew of site benefits and features. It's ideal for folks who want all of that; but for those who just want a bit of it, there are alternatives should they find those more convenient.
