[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 4749723, member: 17262"] I will be honest, right now the WotC decision has little effect on me. That is because I am currently unemployed and I cannot buy any game material. However, I did have plans to buy a number of 3.x pdfs once I had a job. Some of them are for books that are difficult to find. Now, when I get a job, I will have to search high and low and probably pay an obscene amount of money if I want those books. It's a shame we will probably never see the older editions in a digital format ever again. I was also asked recently if I wanted to try playing D&D 4e. I have been quite reluctant to play, but thought I should give it a try with a very good DM. I thought that I would try buying the 4e pdfs, as they would take up less room on my gaming shelf. I normally do not like sitting at my computer to read a book, but a friend has a tablet computer he would lend me for awhile. Putting the pdfs on a disk (or thumb drive) would make this pretty convenient. Now, without the possibility of pdfs, I will probably just borrow the books and not buy them at all. So, this whole debacle means that I will spend no money on WOtC items that I otherwise would have purchased. In my rather limited case it seems that instead of WotC doing something to increase their sales they have actually eliminated their sales . I guess I am more baffled then upset. I am not really protesting or boycotting WotC. I am, however, not buying anything from them, but that is because they no longer carry what I want. [/QUOTE]
