Beyond the costs for the raw data made available via DDI subscription, they'll also have to cover art, art buying, print buying, logistics and several things more.As long as WotC continues to publish books as well as online data, diminished sales actually mean less revenue.I actually think that the publishing model of 4e, with printed stuff as well as a subscription model, is valid for a period of transfer only. Come 5th edition, we'll either have a subscription only model or a shameful return to printed books.If I'd have to bet some money on he result, I'd decide for the first version.</blockquote>
