[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5365549"] Cloud computing will be the death of us all. That said, I think it's hilarious to hear people griping about "paying for material I'll never use" when they're only paying 10 bucks or less a month for it. You were all abusing the system and you know it. You are the pirates WOTC is trying to stop. And now your whining that you can't steal from them anymore? HA! Really guys? I buy one manual, it's 40 bucks(lets just go with MSRP, not ebay), two, now it's 80, get a nice set of all the core books, I'm staring down well over 200. I want power books? tack on another 30 a piece, pretty soon I'm looking down the barrel of easily $500 in books, magazines and supplements. or, I could pay 10 bucks a month for ALL of that information, and it would take me over 4 years to total up to that amount. Which we all know more books, more supplements, more magazines would be released. Hell, a new edition may come out and you'll have to repeat the whole process all over again. As much as I don't like the flaws in this system, based on the cost alone, it is still WELL worth it. And I personally will enjoy not having to deal with buggy updates and just know that when I log in to the website, it will be fully updates and ready to go. [/QUOTE]
