I don't really "own" any games in my Steam queue or anything I watch on Netflix. Its worrisome to think that the site might go down, and lose access. But... DDI is still up. But does anyone still use it? I wonder how many people here still have their subscription. Before that, there was the downloadable Character Builder. You could keep that. But how many people still have that installed on their machines?I own the Core Rules CD-ROM.[ATTACH]86607[/ATTACH]The best character building software 1995 had to offer. With some amazing document formatting of the included books. No PDFs here. RTF instead.[ATTACH]86608[/ATTACH]Of course, despite the fact I own the program, it no longer works, being seven-ish iterations of Windows out of date. "Owning" it means little in this case.[ATTACH]86609[/ATTACH]Not that I'm likely to pay 2nd Edition again any time soon...Okay... PDFs have been around for a while. And might continue to be around. Or not. Amazon's Kindle format is a contender. Adobe might do a revision of the format. 25 years is a longtime and the above is only 22 years old. After all, modern tablets have really made PDFs usable at the table but are less than 10 years old. Will we still be using them in 25 years?</blockquote>
