[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6266947, member: 7006"] Nope... it's the realization that there's just too much crap lying around the house which never gets any use, that takes up too much space, and is too much of a pain in the tuchas to move around. Anyone who uses Steam for their computer game purchases probably feels the same way. Easily storable, easily portable, able to be downloaded regardless of the computer I'm on. It's perfect. Yes, if Valve sometime in the future goes up in smoke, I'd be out all those games... but let's get real here. At that point in time, the games would be so outdated, I'd never be playing them anyway. And I feel the same about RPGs. In 10 years time... I'll probably be playing [I]new[/I] RPGs, and thus wouldn't care at all if my 4E access got shut down. Hell... I've got all my 3.0 and 3.5 books in my closet and I haven't opened any single of them since 4E's release. So if my game closet got set on fire and burned down... I'd feel just as little loss to those hardcover books that I'll eventually feel if DDI access to 4E gets shut down. The future is now... and for myself, having "stuff" around the house is no longer necessary. [/QUOTE]
