[QUOTE="DimitriX, post: 4749486, member: 63781"] I'm also not surprised that they decided to pull ALL pdfs rather than just the 4e pdfs. WotC doesn't want you playing previous editions, they want you buying the new edition. The fact that they aren't printing the old edition stuff anymore makes sense. But that means that the only way to get this stuff is through downloads. If they aren't printing the old stuff, then there isn't any way that they can say that piracy is hurting sales of the old stuff because they aren't printing it anymore. And, I really don't think that the piracy of old edition pdfs is really hurting their bottom line. He didn't mention it at all in his 'reply'. They could have just decided to make the 4e stuff no long available in pdfs and not touch the 3e, 2e, or 1e materials. But, they didn't. Because they do want to dictate the game you play. Sounds paranoid, but I can't think of another logical reason why they would pull everything. It seems like about once a month something else comes up that gives me that old TSR feeling. [/QUOTE]
