[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 3496111, member: 151"] Don't take this the wrong way, but you purchasing habits pretty much make it clear that to WotC, you are irrelevant. You don't purchase the print OR electronic materials and aren't interested in either, really. They can't lose a sale they don't have and can't publish with the hope they might get your business when they have current purchasing customers who they need to consider (and who they may have to win back). One concern that occurs to me, now, is the fragmenting of the community. Previously, the magazines were readily available. Even if you weren't a regular customer, if you heard something good about the current issue, you popped out to the store. I doubt that you'll be able to do that with the DI. I'm really curious how they're going to handle things. On the one hand, if you lose access to content when you're not a subscriber, I'm very discouraged from using the service. On the other hand, if they don't restrict it somehow, how will they prevent folks from signing up for a month, grabbing all they can get and then cancelling? There's a lot of challenges here and I have no idea how they'll face them. [/QUOTE]
