But yes, basically, fans who think this way are, frankly, really terrible fans/customers/whatever to have.I mean, just by way of example, one of the digs you've taken at WotC is that they pulled PDFs that were sold to customers with the understanding that they'd be able to re-download those products in the future, completely ignoring the fact that the vendor sites made that promise to the customer knowing full well that any publisher could ask them to remove their product, and that ability to re-download would be revoked. At no point did WotC promise that you'd have eternal access to replacement copies of your PDF, and yet this is blame you lay at WotC's feet - blame that is, demonstrably, not theirs. You can hate on WotC all you want for pulling PDF sales, but you can't hate on them for preventing re-downloads as well when they never told you that you could re-download in the first place.And yet, of course, you do, because it's mud to sling, and it's fun to sling mud, reasonable cause be damned.The other things you mention, sure, those are reasons to feel a tad inconvenienced and WotC can certainly be seen as the bad guy. But PDF re-downloads? This is why hyper-entitled fans shouldn't be taken seriously.</blockquote>
