I think it would be awesome if they had more money diverted to their digital division, and were able to rebuild their approach from the ground up with digital products in mind. But I also don't think it is easy to just make happen, especially with the expenses lost on the original DDI contract work - basically, I don't think Hasbro is willing to invest the resources needed to fully reinvent their business process. I don't think it is paranoia alone that is getting in the way.   Hopefully, yeah. But like I said - these sorts of errors have shown up throughout the history of the game. They aren't something new. Ignoring them instead of fixing them - as happened in 3.0/3.5 - isn't an approach I'm a fan of.  I agree that avoiding them entirely is the ideal. And there are definitely elements I see that I shake my head at and wonder how they got through. But some will always creep in there, and better for them to fix them than to not do so.   These seem two different goals. Whether you have a digital copy or not, errata will still happen if stuff needs fixing. If your concern is that you just want an easy digital reminder of what changes have happened... isn't that what we have?  Actually, I think they have closed the minis line because they weren't making a profit, even after reinventing the line several times to try and find something that worked.  The board games have been a huge success, from what I understand. And I'm not sure why you see it as random - board games are something existing gamers can enjoy, but also something that can bring in new gamers. That's exactly the sort of product that is great for the game in the long run.  Accessories and such are nice, but I don't think there is as much a market for them as you believe.   The majority of those reasons involve the roll-out of the product, the poor communication involved, and the numerous bugs at the time of release. Most of those bugs have been addressed. More additions are still needed - more character sheets, more customization, for example - but what is there is no longer nonfunctional like it was at launch.  I believe <a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26183949/Open_Letter_to_WotC" target="_blank">this</a> is the thread you were referring to. Yes, many complaints about the online character builder. The majority of which are from months ago, when it was launched. Dannager is calling in slick based on what it is capable of right now - and a thread of complaints about the buggy version from 5 months ago really isn't all that relevant.</blockquote>
