People here think WOTC screwed up DDI? Heh, I suggest you mosey on up to the MTGO forums and ask them what they think of WOTC's general treatment of MTGO. From the v2 screwups to even the recent v3 brouhaha, WOTC can't catch a break,WOTC has ALWAYS gotten bad press in the internet. I honestly don't know of a company that gets as much heat from its fans as WOTC does.Yet, you know what's funny, MTGO increases steadily each year in numbers and now accounts for something like 20% of WOTC's MTG revenue.I think the comparison is relatively similar in that people complain about the price AND the fact that you can get something cheaper (FREE!) online all the time yet, it is successful.I think the same thing will happen with DDI. It will be panned orribly by most people on the web and yet it will be a steady income growth.It should be noted as well that we as fans of D&D should hope that DDI does well as this actually ensures D&D RPG products. WOTC has NEVER needed D&D the RPG for its bottom line. It's got MTG, novels and the DDM line for that.</blockquote>
