Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thurbane" data-source="post: 3474845" data-attributes="member: 43273">The only reason I used TEN was because of what Mistwell said in the first place:As I've already said, I personally don't think the figure IS that far out.I have a friend living in China with his fiance at the moment. I keep hearing from him how hard it is to get access to the net. Your experience may differ.So you think having to go out to a internet cafe to read online content is as practical or convenient as a printed magazine?Well, I'm still yet to be convinced. And as I said, my argument isn't that the online initiative should never have come about, or that it is a bad thing - my argument all along has been that cancelling Dragon and Dungeon in printed magazine format is a bad move, regardless of what they do with their online initiative.I haven't once asked for WotC to get back into the magazine business, simply to accept a payment from Paizo to continue their license.On this we definitely disagree.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> This is a blatantly false assumption, not to mention more than a little insulting. While I certainly can't speak for anyone else, myself (and quite a few people I have spoken to in person) would most defintely have been less upset if WotC had handled the announcement with more info on what is to come and some reassurances to the fans of the cancelled mags.WotC are a company - within the limits of the law, they have the right to do whatever they darn well please, I have no delusions about that. Just as I have a right to be POd with what I view as a lack of respect for their consumer base, and the right to vote with my wallet.</blockquote>
