Are you suggesting that a significant number of DDi subscribers, which is people paying a monthly fee for access to the DDI service were actually just people who forgot for multiple years that they were paying for it? Seriously!?That is actually the most absurd thing I've ever encountered in a discussion about 4e. I really hope you meant something else. I don't know you need to believe so hard that 4e flopped hard, but it just didn't, bud. They canned it because they knew that they weren't getting as much of the pie as they could with an edition that wasn't soured by an edition war, and they knew that to get it they were going to have to start from scratch with enormous amounts of player feedback and actively invite people back into the fold in the most inclusive way possible. They rebooted DnD, refusing to even call the new edition by an edition number, because they knew that a divided fanbase was limited how much they profit they could make, not because they were losing money.</blockquote>
