[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 5939987, member: 18182"] Disliking a subscription model doesn't make you old, but the "hate" you feel towards it and your need to rant and call those of us who do like the model "fools" does make you old. Old-spirited, if not actually old by years. The next edition of D&D will be fully playable without a computer, and without any sort of subscription. If supplemental content shifts largely to an online subscription, like Dragon and Dungeon magazines already have, it's okay if you'd rather the support be in print. Just don't crap on the parade for those who understand it's not 1974 anymore, that time marches on, and that the market has changed, as has the technology. If you would rather a discrete character generator program for a one-time cost be the plan rather than a subscription or micropayments . . . . well, sorry, but WotC does have to keep an eye towards profit. Your way profit does not lie for them, while the subscription model has already proven profitable for WotC, and acceptable for a large number of their fans. [/QUOTE]
