[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 4947968, member: 37277"] I was paying for it. I bought two dozen products all from Wizards over that 9 years. 25 books at 20 bucks a pop amounts to $500 dollars. That's four years worth of DDI at the monthly price. And that's a lowball estimate because the books were all higher than 20 bucks and I have 30 or so miniatures, Dragon Dice, and Three Dragon Ante. Now, with 4th Edition I bought three 4E books at $35 bucks a pop, oh, and I forgot KOTS at $30 - that's $135 dollars. That would be 13 months of DDI. I suppose that's about what I got, in all actuality, but I was going to buy the 4E Eberron books. That'd be another 6 months of DDI. I suppose I could just subscribe to DDI and get "more" stuff, but I refuse to do so until the products I wanted to see are published. Since they were axed, I won't be subscribing. The "free" argument is lame because it ignores facts. Now, back to the cable analogy. Like I said, the art and map galleries were the only reason I went to Wizards website. Since those are gone, I have done the responsible reevaluation and decided that their website is not worth my time anymore. And since the free content (which we've established wasn't really free since I was buying books) is now gone, I don't have that either. Civil discourse left the minute the snark and the "entitlement" as epithet argument entered. People love to ignore snark as though it isn't the direct end of civil debate. The minute labels and assumptions are made and bandied about, people have stopped having an open mind. [/QUOTE]
