[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5435344, member: 82106"] Here's the thing though, there's no down side for the other 90% (or whatever it really is). They have the same books as ever. If it was going to be profitable to put out these books, they'd have done it. If the stuff can go into DDI then it goes into DDI and it is all for the good. If there was no DDI it would just be gone.
