[QUOTE="CovertOps, post: 5201401, member: 65152"] So how many kids is that? 5? 10? 20? What age range are they in? 4-6? 7-10? 11-14? 15-20? Do all of them go for this kind of game or are some of them perhaps not part of WotC's demographics for D&D? Did you do surveys about opinions of these kids or is this just a generic "they DEMAND digital"? Was said survey (if you did one) unbiased? All I'm trying to get at here is your sample is no where near big enough to make such a wild assertion about any given demographic of kids in any age range. Get back to us when you have some actual [b]valid[/b] market research and not just your opinion based on a few of your friends. A comparison between the book industry and the music industry is not a valid comparison. Music has [b]always[/b] required a device to play it on such as an 8-track, cassette player, CD player and now computers/iPods/etc. The only thing that has changed is the preferred device. A book has never required an external device to read it (unless you count a magnifying glass for those with poor vision). The future of digital book devices is still not set in stone and may not be for quite some time. Do you feel sorry for those companies that made beta tape players? How about Laser Disks? WotC is a game company. They are not about to be the trend setter in digital books. They will leave that up to industry companies like Random House and other publishing giants. [/QUOTE]
