[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4679934, member: 40359"] Just rumors that started about 5 minutes after they removed the links to them on the DDI web page. Considering that they have said they would re-examine priorities after the Character Builder was released, and they have a survey out asking exactly about this sort of thing, and having links to non-existent software for a year when you are trying to sell a subscription isn't very effective marketing, I'd say it's just a tad early to call them dead. Until WotC says they are nixxed, I wouldn't believe the rumors going around. They are about as unsubstantiated as you can get. (Web page link disappears = multimillion dollar* projects canceled.) :) So no worries yet at least. (Of course, if WotC is "re-examining priorities" and I really wanted to see a particular project get some loving, I might start making posts claiming it's dead in order to generate a thread like this with cries of support. And to be clear, I'm talking about the "folk" Silverblade mentions who have been posting the "news" that these projects are dead on several websites. I'm not talking about Silverblade's OP. If you're not paying careful attention and reading between the lines, it's easy to assume the Visualizer and VTT are canceled given how many people have been claiming that recently.) * This is only a guess. But unless they only have 2 programmers strung out on Mountain Dew trying to do everything, I can see the costs easily getting into the low millions. [/QUOTE]
