[QUOTE="Scholar & Brutalman, post: 4054868, member: 33642"] I have a rather Machiavellian theory that Wizards brought Dungeon/Dragon and the rest of their IP back in-house not because they wanted to do much with it themselves but mainly to make sure that no-one else was going to use it to support 3.5. If this is the case, they'll probably license it back out once 4e is firmly established. They clearly don't have enough staff to produce content for DDI while writing their new editions. When the NDA is over they may intend to get freelancers to write articles. Right now they've produced nothing that makes me feel like spending money to subscribe. I'm also wondering why we haven't seen more of the DDI Game Table and Character Creator applications that are supposed to be previewing in June. I don't care about DDI that much - I hadn't bought Dungeon or Dragon for years, and I'm not interested in the online gaming part of it. I really only care that Wizards releases - in June - a good set of playtested rules that provides good solutions to the problems of 3e, and that they release [I]very soon[/I] a GSL that allows other companies to produce support for it. I worry that WotC's failure to meet their deadlines in DDI means they won't meet these more important ones. [/QUOTE]
