Who is interested in the Digital Initiative?

[MoogleEmpMog]

The poll has no answer that even close to relfects my view: I buy very little WotC material but will certainly try the Digital Initiative, and am more likely to subscribe to it long-term BECAUSE it is online.

I'll answer the first one because it's the only one that's unambiguously positive about the Digital Initiative, even though it absolutely does NOT reflect my views or buying habits.

In the future, try:

Are you interested in Wizards of the Coast's Digital Initiative? Yes/No.

I chose: "Undecided - it's too early to tell" but I have high hopes based on articles Wizards of the Coast already posts online, such as Mind's Eye and Dragonshards.

I was actually thinking the exact opposite.

The readership of Dungeon and Dragon represents around 1% of the total number of D&D players.

If this poll indeed would be representative of D&D players, the 3.25% who would absolutely buy into the digital initiative is three times the number of those who bought Dragon and Dungeon.

Everything after this depends on this assumption: that the percentage of ENWorld denizens who subscribe to Dragon and/or Dungeon is not substantially higher than the percentage of D&D players in general who do. Given the general level of dedication many ENWorlders appear to have towards the hobby, I think this is probably a faulty assumption.

Yeah, I actually realised this right after I posted it, but unfortunately you can't edit polls... sorry about that.

I'm guessing that seeing as you're the first person to bring it up though, that you're a long way in the minority... which is actually kind of surprising and a bit of a datapoint in and of itself.

You did notice the last words of my post, I hope?

If not, I'll make myself clear; using polls on EN World to prove a point, negative or positive, or to predict a trend, positive or negative, is futile.
