[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 4749265, member: 23935"] Well, they say the first step to recovery is acknowledging the problem. Now choose your targets wisely. I'm becoming sure that DDI is much more important to WoTC at this stage than the book counts. Certainly not in total revenue, but the continuous predictable revenue stream coupled with much lower direct costs probably means more eyes are focused on that stream than the books. Additionally, pulling the pdfs is more likely a move that will help DDI (assuming any new distribution method will leverage their in-place infrastructure) than book sales. Perhaps you should consider subscribing only when you [B]need[/B] to update the character builder and exist offline otherwise? I understand that could be too daunting a first step, but think about the freedom you'll feel when you can be unplugged. Unfortunately, I can't join you on this journey. I took these steps a year ago and wish you well. Just remember, you could use the service, but you don't need to [I]today[/I]. [/QUOTE]
