[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4682572, member: 59506"] Not Quite. All of these are true, but they are things that are minimum expectations of, and included in [I]Dragon[/I] and [I]Dungeon[/I]. But good job trying to [I]"pad the resume"[/I]. And "Issue Updates" multiple times each month is just a clever way of saying "we are spreading the issue release out over a whole month". But again, nice try. Yes - [I]but not ready at the time of 4E's release - as promised.[/I] Yes - [I]but again not ready at the time of 4E's release - in point of fact, seven months late.[/I] While possibly acceptable to you, to most "late" is unacceptable, and [I]"seven months late"[/I] is [B][I]very[/I][/B] unacceptable - period. Negative - the Bonus Tools are exactly that - [I]"Bonus"[/I] tools. The Campaign Management tools in question were supposed to allow players to save characters online, and allow DM's to save NPC's, Monsters, and Campaign Notes, etc. These applications have not been released yet, with no word of when, or if, they will be released. The "Bonus Tools" were an add on meant to show customers that Yes, there was still actual work going on to complete DDI. They were very simple programs. Very similiar to dozens of other free programs scattered across the internet. Not exactly a selling point, and nothing that adds "value" to the product when anyone can get similiar programs for free. True, but you seem to have conveniently forgotten: * Character Visualizer: no * Dungeon Builder: no * Campaign Tools: no What was "promised" was more than just what is in that quote, but also what was advertised and marketed prior to 4E's release. Using only that quote as a benchmark for success is only half of the story. So, corrected to be more factual and representative: Now, analyze away. [/QUOTE]
