[QUOTE="fantasmamore, post: 7722080, member: 6763506"] I wish that there was the same subscription model for DDI back in the day. I payed hundreds of dollars over the years for content that I cant access anymore. My only concern is that the offline content is going to be available through a mobile app. See, if it was computer software I could create a partition in my hard drive and keep an outdated OS just to run the specific app. I am kind of doing the same thing by having a virtual machine running Windows XP in my Mac in order to use Masterplan. Even if Masterplan is no more compatible, say, with Windows 10, I have a licence for Windows XP plus the install files so I can use it anytime. But a mobile app is different. If Curse goes out of business (hopefully after decades) will I be able to re-download the app? Can I even save the .apk that I 'll download from the Play Store? If my phone/tablet makes an update and the app doesn't work anymore will I be able to return to the previous version of android OS? I guess we'll see. Right now I am just happy that there is the option of buying the content so I'll have access to it after one year without having to pay again. P.S. Having something "forever" is kind of impossible. Recently I renew my DDI subscription for a month, just to create some PCs for my new players to choose from, and I found out that Silverlight plugin is no longer compatible with most browsers... That's the only thing that the dinosaur that is PDF does better. For good or ill, it remains almost the same... [/QUOTE]
