[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5660840, member: 82106"] That would be my guess too. There was a full set of books put out on CDROM along with some software as I recall way back when. They can just slap those files up on DDI and you have access to all the books etc. Frankly I doubt they're going to put any real huge effort into older editions. It seems more like a "hey, it isn't going to hurt us to do this, it will get us a few happy smiles and won't cost much." kind of thing. Truthfully AD&D stuff is easy to find dirt cheap all over the place anyway. There's not really any money to be made reprinting a book you can already get copies of online, often for almost pocket change. Even the slightest word they touched in any book would just get criticism from some quarter, and editing and relaying out is expensive. I could see some level of community support though.
