[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3499309, member: 22882"] Yes, that would be devastating. It makes no sense, as I'm sure you realize, but it would be devastating. They might even get less, but seeing as how the 10% figure describes what percentage of people who consume WEB CONTENT for free are willing to pay for it (even when expanded), and has no relation to the small niche of the niche hobby that bought the magazines... yeah. And by "WotC's lack of ability online," you mean "I don't like the D&D web site and e-tools wasn't good?" Perhaps you didn't mean to apply this to me; I've never said "well, WotC didn't have the drive or ability before, but golly gee they'll get it right now" - although I can think of plenty of logical reasons that could be accurate. I *am* impressed with WotC's web site [I]right now[/I]. I *love* magicthegathering.com - the site itself is updated every day with in-depth, often insightful material from a mix of pro players, Wizards employees and commentators. Gatherer, the online database of all Magic cards from Alpha to the present, is an amazing resource that works extremely well (the message boards' autocard feature, which runs off of this, is also excellent) and demonstrates Wizards' ability to put together a professional online database. The D&D, Star Wars and d20 Modern sites are attractive and (IMO) navigable, and their content is extremely regular and well put together. Their web enhancements are excellent, their errata has been prompt and comprehensive, their previews are interesting and some of their articles, like Keith Baker's brilliant Dragonshards series, blow out of the water what those same authors did in the print magazines.
