[QUOTE="Krafus, post: 3467161, member: 27256"] I am deeply saddened by the demise of Dragon and Dungeon, especially when things were going so well for both. I am also bitter at Wizards' lack of online presence over this. In this thread and others I've seen people exchanging back and forth, sometimes heatedly, over what prompted this decision. Some who defend Wizards say that the complainers can't know what Wizards' execs were thinking - and they're right. They're right, because unlike Paizo, no one from Wizards has deigned to come online and give us some real answers. Instead, all we have is a press release hanging from a wall of silence. So people are perfectly entitled to come up with their own answers for this decision. And if Wizards don't like accusations that they're deliberately shutting down popular magazines to force people to buy to their upcoming online products, well, it's up to them to come and give us answers. Personally, I won't be switching to the online stuff. I have little confidence Wizards putting out even halfway decent material, never mind coming close to the quality Dragon and Dungeon were now displaying. I also enjoy holding a product in my hands, and so dislike PDFs. For those who say that PDFs can easily be printed, I point out that printing is an expense of time and further expense of money, and the ultimate result is a pile of sheets whereas I had a magazine with bound pages before.
