We had far more previews of a 'working' character visualiser and VTT. Even working versions at Gen Con for people to play with; what happened to them?
If WOTC had really failed with the DDI then I could see the point of these comments, but the DDI has been pretty successful so far.
Sure its had failures, god knows I was disappointed to lose the gaming table. But the character builder has been very good, with only the occasional bug, and regular updates. Dragon and Dungeon have done well, we are seeing lots of new online content, etc.
I think WOTC has done pretty well by us so far with DDI, let's try to be positive on this one.
