[QUOTE="Khairn, post: 3497578, member: 20153"] Jurgen, when did WotC confirm that we would have unlimited access to the entire back archive? Not calling you out, just wondering as I haven't seen that post. I agree that this is hopeful thinking and does appear to be a "must have" feature for the DI. But whether it will end up being 1 adventure per week, 1 adventure per month or unlimited (not likely IMHO) download capabilities is still to be determined. I believe that part of the reason why they've been unwilling to share such basic format & content options with us is that they are still working on the security features to prevent (or control) the transferability of their DI content. PDF's are a wonderful format, but as long as I can download all or part of the DI and then send it to anyone I want to, I dont believe WotC will offer it. Controlling the transferability of the content is the cornerstone of the DI business model. What that control will be is the million $ question, IMO. [/QUOTE]
