[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3490131, member: 2477"] Well, plenty of folks on ENWorld don't like WotC's stuff to start with, so to them the decision to cancel the magazines means a loss of product since they hate all WotC stuff anyway. In addition, some folks don't want electronic product anyway, so they're out unless they feel the print book compilations are a worthy replacement. If you like the stuff WotC is doing, but won't have trust in their ability to make good product simply because it means the end of the magazines, then realistically WotC hasn't done wrong by you, as long as they follow through and a good product replaces a good product. Right now of course, it's hard to judge snce we don't have a lot of information, but since the magazines haven't ended yet either, you're still "getting" the stuff. :) My vantage is of course different, I enjoy WotC's books, and they see a lot more use for me than the magazines have in a year. My subscriptions were ending as the announcements were made, with no intention for me to renew. I found the magazines to have a feeling of "the same stuff, again" while the books were more various. As for "traitors to the brand", if you feel that WotC is not handling the duties of "D&D" responsibly, then that's what I mean. I personally like their stuff, though my opinion obvously is no more valid than any other. [/QUOTE]
