[QUOTE="zacharythefirst, post: 4751325, member: 30941"] I ultimately didn't make the jump to 4e, so what I had left to do business with WotC over were older edition pdfs. Their decisions as a company closed that door. When I look at the possibility of re-opening it, either through the DDI or whatever digital delivery option they decide upon, I look at 2 years of horrendous, ham-fisted PR (not analyzing, but usually trashing the game I'd been playing for a number of years), unfinished products, abrupt, inconsiderate, no-notice actions, broken promises (cheap pdfs w/ 4e), and an ever-increasing impersonal bent towards me as a fan. D&D fans deserve better. I'm sure some people are not affected by these moves, but I won't deal with that. There are far too many companies making products I want who treat their customers right to deal with that. I'm reminded of a quote from [I]1776[/I]: [B]John Dickinson:[/B] Fortunately, the people maintain a higher regard for their mother country. [B]Dr. Benjamin Franklin:[/B] Higher, certainly, than she feels for them. Never was such a valuable possession so stupidly and recklessly managed... [/QUOTE]
