[QUOTE="Khairn, post: 3533384, member: 20153"] The move to DI is responsible for the cancellation of 2 iconic RPG magazines, will herald a dramatic and fundamental shift in the RPG community, and based on the scant information provided will exclude a good part of WotC's own customer base. Next to the announcement of 3E and the OGL/SRD, this is IMHO the most important and dramatic change in the gaming industry over the last 20 years. I know WotC are under no obligation to advise their customers about anything. Having said that, I would have expected that they would consider it a priority, especially given both the dramatic change in business models that the DI represents and their stated intent to improve communication with their already "online" customer base. In response to a question on the D&D forums regarding why WotC hasn't been willing to share even the slightest information about the DI, WotC_Logan stated Based on that comment I guess we will all just have to wait until WotC feels that we are somehow "ready" to make that decision. This doesn't look to me like a company making an effort to improve communication. No "sky is falling" ... no "conspiracy" talk ... just a disgruntled customer recognizing that WotC doesn't have to share anything, but hoping that they could at least give us an idea as to when we [U]can [/U]anticipate the communication to start.
