Theory on Digital Gaming Initiative

[Nightfall]

Joe,

Aren't they ready to file for bankruptcy? Atari I mean...

I'm not sure if competition is the right word, but I think maybe they're seeing a model of revenue where someone isn't just on board for PHB, DMG and MM and then every once in a while buys a supplement or an adventure. They're seeing that there are WoW players willing to stick money into their hobby every month, month after month. Or with Paizo, people who were willing to pay year after year for content. And maybe they're hoping they can do the same thing.

Or perhaps WotC has noticed the profitability of places that sell PDF gaming material and are thinking, "We don't have to use middlemen to sell our on-line gaming material. We can go direct to the customer."

Interesting idea..... hrm.... I'll have to think on it a bit.
