I own hundreds of RPG books, most of which will probably used never again. Gaming via subscription isn't such a terrible idea for me.If push comes to shove, the D&D edition changes, and WotC pull the plug from the servers for 4e material, they will have lost me as a customer - probably forever.But I'm pretty sure that we won't see an edition changed like in the past. D&D will continue to be developed and changed. But I expect the edition moniker silently being removed from the product. Perhaps in '14 we might see a commemorative edition of the 1e books marked as collectors' items, and a newly edited set of current rulebooks representing the then status of the game. In DDI you'll be able to make snapshots of the rules, representing the version you want to play with. All the tools mind your selection. So you can stay abreast with the ongoing development or alternatively configure your game as you like. You can also send you players a configuration token so that they use the same version for their preparations and character building.Too optimistic, you say? May be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Time will tell...</blockquote>
