No. The goal was picked out logically based upon the action taken. The stated goal was to prevent piracy. The stated reason says that 3E and older pdf material was pulled to prevent piracy so that customers would purchase the abundant amount of such printed product. The small problem here is that such product isn't being printed anymore. Therefore, the reason for such a move has nothing to do with piracy.  Since the official explanation is pure BS there must be another one. The primary goal I selected was one possible answer. I am willing to listen to others that make sense. None of this is proof of an "evil conspiracy".  There is a difference between an evil conspiracy and stupid business practices. WOTC is not evil, and it is also not Microsoft. Trying to market tabletop rpgs like MS markets operating systems through forced obsolecence isn't evil, its just plain dumb.</blockquote>
