[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5504814, member: 1210"] Well, it might not be a good or bad thing for WotC, but it's a terrible thing for gamers that use it instead of books. Eventually, there may come a 5e, in which case all the online 4e stuff will go away. Sucks to be mid-campaign and no longer have access to things like, you know, powers, monsters, items, rituals, feats, etc. I don't know how this can be "not a bad thing" for the poor guys in that campaign. Sure, you can say, "Shoulda bought them books, shouldntchahave?", but that doesn't address the fact that some groups "buy in" via subscription only. Imagine those guys when DDI 4e gets cut off. Talk about firing your customers! Where's their motivation to ever play D&D again? They can't finish their campaign, they can either start over (learning curve, higher sub fee?) or just pick up a board game or something. [/QUOTE]
