[QUOTE="Angellis_ater, post: 5367710, member: 37442"] Like I said, this is one of the "last straws" mainly because, as you put it forth, they've missed big time before. Now, the MOST important thing to me, is that my non-book gaming is at the mercy of someone else. If they decide I log in from too many IPs (I use the CB from 4-5 different computers in a normal week, 2 laptops at home, 1 desktop at work and at home and at a friends) or for whatever reason, I am cut off. I gladly paid 60+ bucks a year for the updates and Dungeon Magazine because I knew I could keep using that stuff. Now, I'll either have to go back to buying books - and the constant feeling of paying for erratad books - or find some other solution. We tried playign with just the books, but knowing the amount of errata that had been processed and released has made the PHB a joke - not only for what HAS been erratad, but because enough has been changed that you NEVER know what's right anymore. Now, that was a problem we could overlook, since we had the CB to handle it all. Now we won't. So, from today the newly instituted rule will be that we use only the old CB, effectively making all future updates (for me) useless. Now, if it had been better implemented, then perhaps I as a majority-Linux user could've seen some use (the removed need to Virtualbox a Windows installation for example) out of it. Now, with Silverlight (4 of all version as well...) that's kinda screwed too. So, it's essentially about the future usability of a system. I'm paying for a game, like ALL other roleplaying games, I tend to come back and replay older games. All the books I have, that we play from time to time, are still useful.
