Currently the DDI is 100% 4E-centric. Unless you're playing 4th edition, there's no reason to be a subscriber. To non-subscribers, who play older editions of this game we love: If the WotC/TSR back catalog was hosted through the DDI, would you subscribe?

It presumes malice, or intent to deceive. I have neither. I assume that people that wanted the PDFs, would have bought them. Buying item X doesn't earn right to expect it will be hosted forever. Just my assumption, but I think it is logical. I'm reading TSR's A3 tonight, and you and I live...

You're right. It is just the idealist in me that wants folks to understand that WotC was the producer, not the middleman or distro. And if WotC doesn't manage to follow up with a timely digital answer, it will be an epic fail. Oh --- and I'm backing up my computer tonight. :)

Two thoughts. First, you're right about the 5 downloads. I re-read your posts and my responses weren't in line. Second. Strawman? My responses may have been mistaken, but don't accuse me of duplicity, please. So to restate: This has provoked a passionate response because you aren't able to...

Drakeh, WotC didn't sell you the promise of 5 PDFs. RPGnow did. For example: I'm a middleman who sells you a year's worth of eggs. You pay up front. My supplier's chickens die. You come to me for eggs. I don't have any eggs. I point down the road at the chicken farm, but don't offer you...

Haffrung, Respectfully, it is RPGnow that owes you a refund. RPGnow set up the conditions for the purchase, and your expectations (and mine). Their supplier had a change of mind, and RPGnow is unable to fulfill their commitment (5 copies). If RPGnow didn't have the power to enforce the...

P. Cirno, I think you've misunderstood my argument. I'm not disputing *you*, I'm disputing the conclusions you are positing. Two different things, that keep us friends in the end, while permitting intelligent dialog without resorting to full caps. It's not a popularity contest. I maintain...

I stopped by RPG.net to check Jtlawyer's claim. The thread was just as long, but several times LESS vitriolic, FWIW. It seems that regardless of whatever the hell WotC does, it is our ENworld community that loses.

I agree with the man with 3000 more posts than I have. Experience points for all!

My suspicion is that contracts are more nuanced than you are suggesting: No. Everyone that bought a PDF could have downloaded it. We're angry because we won't be able to downloaded it the other 4 times, as promised by RPGnow. I haven't seen the contract that RPGnow made with Wizards. I'll...

I don't have a malfunction. But you are welcome to punch holes in my argument. This is a discussion of ideas, after all, that has nothing to do with me.

Respectfully submitted: I sell a product to Cirno. Cirno, Inc. tell its customers that they will be able to buy Filcher Paste to the end of time. I stop producing Filcher Paste. Cirno Inc.'s customers are pissed ... Because of promises I made? No. Because of promises Cirno Inc. made...

If you're angry that you can't buy old TSR material, give WotC a month and they'll be selling to you again through the DDI. If you're angry that you can't download your remaining 5 PDF copies, you should be pissed that RPGnow sold you a product that they can't deliver on. Wizard is within...

Right. Because PDF sales through Paizo don't drive a WotC revenue stream. I find your argument unpersuasive, Jtlawyer.

Naive, wishful thinking, but it'd be great if they made the PDFs available to D&D Insider users.

The DM is playing V.

I believe we are mistaking "realism" for "suspension of disbelief." We don't want realism. We want flying dragons that can breath fire. We do want our disbelief of flying dragons than can breath fire, suspended.

I like your logic. I wonder how Durkon's death will play into the plot. ("We'll smuggle the dwarf in dead!")

700 Is this presaging the end of OOTS? I'm having a hard time imagining things coming out well with V addicted to ultimate power and the idea of righting the world. It's not as if he can res. Roy, reunite the party and everything goes back to normal. These sorts of changes/actions are pretty...
