[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 5815531, member: 1129"] On another field, let me try to clarify my rantings. I'm not saying that the DDI is in and of itself bad. I'm saying that during the initial phase over to 4e, there were probably people lost to the magazines going online and the preceived treatment of Paizo and 3rd party support in general. Failure of WoTC to open the DDI to allow 3rd party support from even the most adamant supporters like Goodman Games may have helped push sales down for those that did support 4e until it was no longer vialbe for them to do so at which point their either did their own thing or went to supporting other OGL that was more friendly. There may also have been loss with the whole online character thing and some of the other dubious market speak coming out of WoTC at that time but overall most people seem to be happy, if not very happy, with the package. (Although I wonder what the churn/turnaround is on the DDI subscriber base.) [/QUOTE]
