[QUOTE="Miyaa, post: 4350411, member: 7016"] I had not thought about the RPGA, and maybe that's their saving grace. Listen, I know that the fan stuff may go bye-bye with DDI, and they may try to do everything they can to shut it down, but I suspect some people will go underground. I still think DDI has to show its products are better than what is out there, or could be made. Even if they had nothing running against them, poorly made stuff will drive people away from it. And that remains to be seen. (Okay, so I'm skeptical.) And I know it's very early in the cycle. Unfortunately Wizards isn't doing themselves a favor by having a beta preview before everything is ready. I hope they allow a preview after they're past beta for it to work. Seriously, though, a thousand players for, what nine Living campaigns? That's what, $135,000 a month, or perhaps upwards to $1,620,000 a year total streaming in to Wizards of the Coast just on RPGA interest alone? Why aren't they trying to advertise as much about the RPGA as they can then? And will Hasbro be satisfied with at least a $1.62 mil bump in the revenue stream if it's assumed they'll keep that base satisfied? [/QUOTE]
