Because being a gamer is about "going the extra step" for the people kind enough to take your money, because you should be glad there's anything for you to buy out there at all. Flip the point of view around for a minute - why should Paizo give you the extra content?  You have made no commitment, the risk of copyleft is still as present as ever, they make no additional moneys off the content, etc.Additional content/support is one of the few results of the copyright/left dispute that I see as a good thing.  I like (and will pay) for additional content and support above and beyond the product.  I will file-share mp3s, but buy the CD at a store for the extras.  Paizo is saying "look, we need a guaranteed revenue stream - if you subscribe and sign on for a commitment then we promise to give you a little somethign extra", much the same way a FLGS may offer demos and playing space in exchange for you spending the extra couple of bucks instead of buying from the internet or WalMart.  It isn't "ripping you off" it's value-added content.By the way - yes, you are privileged to have a magazine like this.  Because if it didn't exist you'd actually have to THINK and come up with your own material.- Ma'at</blockquote>
