[QUOTE="Texicles, post: 6240755, member: 6694608"] I'm of the "prefer not to subscribe persuasion". That's not to say I roundly refuse to do it, but given the option to do otherwise, I would. Tablet support is something that has to be on their radar. With the ubiquity of tablets, phones the size of tablets and laptops that become tablets, in conjunction with the average nerd's affinity for technology (no offense intended here, as this is fairly autobiographical), it's pretty much a must moving forward. I like the idea of licensing to 3rd parties, who know what they're doing. It's comparative advantage. I also greatly favor offline support. There're countless reasons I don't want to be forced to connect to the internet to access the content I've paid/am paying for. I also don't buy piracy as a good reason not to have offline content. If piracy were [I]that[/I] significant of a concern, WotC wouldn't produce PDFs, because I doubt there's a single PDF they've produced that hasn't been pirated already. In this day and age, I don't think it's unreasonable to think if you produce digital content, it'll be pirated. At that point, you have to ask whether you'll lose more customers to piracy or because you failed to provide what the customers wanted for fear of piracy. [/QUOTE]
