[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4668531, member: 1154"] You're right. But a subscription to DDI is not a finished product. Dragon and Dungeon certainly are, and you get to keep those. You also get to keep the character builder. So I fail to see the problem. On the contrary, I assume no such thing. I'm fully aware that it's possible for the DDI to literally disappear over night. In fact, I'd even say it's at least slightly likely. It wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro's watching the DDI like a hawk and prepared to turn it off the moment they decide it's not meeting expectations. That said, I use the monthly option. I pay $8 for a month's access to the compendium, two magazines, and an update to my character builder. I'm quite happy with that. That's a totally valid concern. Hopefully, whenever they do discontinue they'll give out a permanently-unlocked, install anywhere version of the character builder. Of course, there's no guarantee they'll do anything like that. Ultimately, though, it comes down to this: they are offering a service, they're being up front about the terms, and it's up to you to decide if you're happy with them or not. If you are, subscribe, if you aren't, don't. [/QUOTE]
