[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5664349, member: 82106"] But how many people who subscribe to DDI are interested in older editions? A few perhaps, but since it is basically a 4e resource you won't get 1e fans signing up for DDI to get the one or two articles a year for their system. So it would have to be open material, thus free. It isn't going to HURT if they could get quality material and not have to pay money developing it themselves (or at least an insignificant amount). Hard to say if that is really feasible. Costs can add up in little ways, someone has to keep an eye on it and make sure some material shows up and that it is acceptable. I think at best it is a huge unknown how much that's worth. As I said before, since older editions aren't going to make WotC money outright their main purpose would be PR and drawing eyeballs that might buy 4e products. It is hard to say how many people there really are out there that are playing older editions that have any interest in 4e at this point. Maybe some, but they probably already know about it. It MIGHT work. I'd be very surprised if WotC put anything beyond the very most nominal effort into this though with all the significant questions. [/QUOTE]
