[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6267673, member: 7006"] Oh don't get me wrong... I don't begrudge anyone that is able to keep all their physical gaming items. In fact, I always get a pang of jealousy when I see photos of players who have "gaming rooms" in their houses with bookshelves chock full of stuff. But I'd be lying if I thought any of that stuff would ever get any use from me. Gaming material for me tends to be as ephemeral as movie tickets. I have no problems spending the cash for the length of time I'm going to get enjoyment out of them... but once their time is done, I can let them go. Which is why my answer is always easy when people ask how or why we're willing to go along with it when WotC "is making us buy the core books again" for a new edition. Because to me... I bought tickets to The Avengers and 4E... I greatly enjoyed my time with them... but now they are offering me The Avenger 2 and 5E. New and different products that I also want to pick up and enjoy... rather than just stay more years on the previous ones. And if I never pick up a Blu-Ray of The Avengers and the DDI servers shut down on 4E's materials so I really can't experience them again the same way... no big deal to me. Because I'll be enjoying The Avengers 2 and 5E now instead. And then several years down the road, The Avengers 3 and 6E. [/QUOTE]
