Consider that I'm a graphic designer, and though I've used Adobe software in the past, currently you cannot buy Adobe products downloaded to your system, you have to pay a monthly fee and use their cloud where the software actually exists, and generally you save your work on their servers. I would never do this. So other than an old version on my PC, I don't use Adobe anymore.Also, though I don't use a lot of software for my gaming, those applications I do sometimes use are often at locations where there is no internet access - one of the houses we regularly game at is in a rural area and the only internet available is dialup. Who would have the patience to use dialup to use an online software platform?If I don't have a game system book at hand - I don't play that game. Many of the "books" I buy are PDFs, but then I run a print shop, so any PDF pages needed in hand during a game was printed by me, carried to the house and able to show others by letting them read it.If the game system only exists online, it won't be a game that I ever play. So if game books are nolonger printed - its a potential loss of a customer. Thus to me, online platforms is no benefit.</blockquote>
