[QUOTE="Monkey Boy, post: 4589284, member: 46422"] This late in the piece Utter failure looks about right. 4e launched and I bought it. I go to DDI first week out of launch. As noted in the nice colour full page ad in the back of the PHB I can 'get more at DDI'. I log in and get... a whole lot of nothing. FAIL. Oh and that ad tells me it's powered by Gleemax. Gleemax was a big costly FAIL. Once you have angered the ENWorld optomist you know your time is up. DDI = big promises, so far we are only just beginning to see results. We have a compendium and a Beta character builder 6 months after launch. And while Dragon and Dungeon may be good they are not particularly difficult to implement. They are PDF's. I hope the digital tabletop does not drop off the radar, that would be a travesty. I think to many it will be DDI's salvation. DDI, hiring staff, firing staff, inhouse or outsourcing. From an outsiders perspective it appears they are making it up as they go along. The real life murder/tragedy that occured on the digital side of things didn't help things. True WOTC have had a bad run but I think to a degree they have brought their FAIL on themselves with some poor decisions. I wish them luck but its been a brutal journey so far. [/QUOTE]
