[QUOTE="Randomthoughts, post: 5768827, member: 6681248"] Hmm, I hope we all keep gideonpepys OP in perspective. I didn't get a sense that he's portraying a "doom and gloom" scenario unlike what is often (unfortunately) seen in 5e threads. But maybe I'm reading things wrong. Anyway, to clarify my position here, I wouldn't go so far to say that WotC's approach is of "utmost importance for the future of our hobby." I frankly don't know. But DDI is certainly important [I]to me[/I] and I suspect to a certain amount of 4e users (of course I don't know the extent of it, besides gideonpepys [I]heh and Dice4Hire[/I] :D). I do think it's worthwhile, as 4e customers, to say what we'd like to see for the version of the game we are currently playing. For example, imagine if Mearls announced sometime in the future that as part of their long-term D&D strategy, WotC is committed in maintaining all of DDI's functionality and content for 4e [I]so long as there is sufficient interest.*[/I] I would find value in that statement since I would look forward to electronic support for 4e for a long time. * [I]So long as there is sufficient interest[/I] is a phrase the suits are going to want him to say, to avoid having to say "forever". Nothing lasts forever. ;) I actually see that the OP underscores something that WotC wanted to achieve: DDI is a value-add system, to the point where some folks are concerned about its ongoing support. It's a good thing IMHO. Imagine if 4e users didn't care about it? [/QUOTE]
