Company A licenses magazines to Company B for x years.2. x years expire.3. Company A decides not to renew license to Company B.4. Company A decides to negotiate an extension to the license so Company B can finish off a series in one of the magazines.Apparently it couldn't, since the majority of people on this board profess that they'll never pay for online content, they don't buy .pdfs, etc.This board's average age is, IIRC, in the upper-20s, if not higher.  WotC needs to GROW THE HOBBY - not keep selling to the same people again and again.  For all the doomsaying and griping and citing of how "successful" the Paizo magazines were, we have no idea how effectively they were growing the hobby.Not really, no.  They announced that the license wouldn't be renewed.  They announced that a new, online product would be put forth.  The next day, many of the Wizards staff talked about their feelings on the subject, expressing, among other things, their excitment about the upcoming online version."Crumbs." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> I guess Wizards' staff should have blown off their actual work to go to message boards and subject themselves to the geek-rage of those who've made it perfectly clear that the online initiative will NEVER satisfy their burning desire to read monster stats on the can.</blockquote>
