[QUOTE="Kris, post: 3467183, member: 3745"] Sad news indeed :( A subscription to online only content (be it a monthly pdf or access to a specific section of a website) is really not for me, but it may be attractive to some folks - so it was definitely worth a shot by the WotC guys (I had no nothing against it - it just isn't my thing). And I admit that I only own about 50 or so Dragon and Dungeon magazines in total - but it was nice to have the option of flicking though the pages in a store and seeing if it contained something of interest to me before purchasing. So as far as I was concerned, this new online content that Wizards had hinted at was just adding more variety for people - which is never a bad thing. But now it would seem that it's going to be the new (official) online content or nothing - and that just plain stinks IMO. To take a somewhat cynical view, it does seem that's WotC's main intention with cancelling the print versions of Dragon and Dungeon is to eliminate the competition for their new venture :( (which may seem a great idea for your average soulless business type... but perhaps not such a good move for the hobby in general). And, maybe I'm missing something here... but this new online model that WotC is pushing is aimed at who exactly? I'm guessing the online D&D community? (is that a fair assumption?). Hmmm... seems to me that the online D&D community seems largely against this move (well at least that's what I'm getting from the majority of posts on this and other message boards) - but maybe I'm mistaken.
