They didn't exactly, oh, I dunno, put it on their front webpage or anything. Or even on the D&Di page. Or recall all the fliers and promotional materials that claimed otherwise. Or even really, you know, TELL anyone in a fashion that implied that they wanted everyone to know. Secondly, they said the tabletop wouldn't be up, but outright said the compendium and PDFs of rulebooks WOULD be. None of which is accurate.Not if you believe their advertising (there's a link in the 4th ed PHB) or everything they've said about 4th ed for a year. They have hyped the "integral" part of the D&Di, and how it meshes face to face and online gaming.Not the point. If I have been waiting for the big summer blockbuster movie for over a year, and expect it to open on friday, July 4th, and I tell all my friends and change my plans and we all go to the theater (which boldly displays the movie's showtimes on their website and on the front of the building), get our soda and popcorn, only then to be told by the staff "sorry, the movie isn't ready yet. It'll be done when it's done. But you can watch some previews and 'making of' clips and give us feedback if you want", you can bet there'd be some unhappy campers, even if the popcorn is really good and the soda is very tasty.But at least we can agree that their communication sucks. Which in the age of the internet, with a few hardcore message board fansites (and email for those who are members of their own message boards), there really is no excuse. The "Send All" button could have been their savior.</blockquote>
