[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6361537, member: 18"] Note that the answer is pretty precisely worded, and it does NOT confirm that there will be "no subscription". What it very clearly confirms is that when you buy THE CONTENT, you own THE CONTENT and retain access to THE CONTENT. However, the way he then talks about how awesome THE TOOLS are and how he hopes people will want THE TOOLS, as if there's something separate from THE CONTENT, I would be unsurprised if we see some sort of hybrid model, where you buy bits of content, get basic tools to access them, but subscribe to the more advanced tools. I'm not saying it's definitely that way, but he is answering the question in a way that very much leaves that possibility wide open, when it would have been easy to say "tools and content" if he meant that. I'm betting it's going to end up a hell of a lot more expensive than the 4E approach, either way. [/QUOTE]
