[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5365672, member: 23977"] Yeah- my guess is the amount of increased subscribers they gain from users who can now use the CB, users who now decide they want a full time subscription, will offset the amount lost because of the switch. It might also push more people into buying books instead of doing the one month download all the new stuff at low cost, trick- which nets them more gains. Some might leave D&D altogether out of spite, but I don't think that will be a huge thing... Although angry gamers never do failt o amaze me... All in all I think it pushes the DDI closer to what it was intended to be... A way to support the physical products, as opposed to a way to get 12 months worth of books for 10 bux. As for me... I'm happy with the change. It allows me to access the CB from many more computers, and not have to worry about brining my character on a thumb-drive or something. Once they enable export/sharing characters even better. All my friends that I game with have internet access, and I'm pretty much always in a location that has it... And if not I have a phone with an unlimited data package that can link to my comp and give me access. I also have been paying for a yearly subscription from the start, so not being able to buy a month long subscription every few months doesn't bother me either. [/QUOTE]
