[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4754590, member: 40961"] The lawsuits aren't an alibi. Lawsuits are expensive. My personal theory is that they're hoping to move to a subscription format. "We're not going to reintroduce pdfs." + "We're looking into other avenues of digital distribution." = Subscriptions, I think. Is there some other options? Personally, I love the subscription model for a [I]living[/I] game system. Sixty bucks to never have to buy a WotC hard cover book? Count me in! I've gotten far, far more than $60 of value already, and my subscription's got plenty more time in it. Short of releasing products open source, I don't think any other company is going to be able to match that value. But a subscription model for a dead game? I don't think so. I really, really don't. I'm not interested, and I don't think many other people will be interested either. [/QUOTE]
