[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6541041, member: 9789"] Umbran, we don't always see eye to eye, but you are literally arguing with me over whether or not I can be surprised about something. :) Just wanted to point that out. I'm sure you'll disagree. :) An astute gentleman once pointed out that D&D - for all that we love and think and talk about it - is basically a rounding error on the balance sheets of WotC. To say that it is not their focus is like saying heating a gnat is not the focus of the sun. :) Thank you for that information. It does make sense that they would want to be as retail-friendly as possible, especially to the group that hawks their cards. I guess my original post was more along the lines of: after 7 months, are they really still afraid of cannibalizing retail sales? If the answer is yes, well: then there's the answer. And the idea that we will never see a PDF becomes a whole lot more likely. And given that it's been 7 months... I'm also leaning toward the answer being yes. [/QUOTE]
