[QUOTE="captcorajus, post: 6863297, member: 6779503"] Your post is rife with logical fallacies. The first one is that you have started of with a personal anecdote and then used that to assert that because YOU stopped buying books in favor of using the digital tools, that that was evidence that digital tools keeps people in general from buying books. Second, in order for your assertion to be true, one would have to also assume that the 'book of the month' model from WOTC was producing books that were worth buying. It is also important to point out that WOTC has stopped publishing on that scale in favor of adventure events, rather than an endless stream of sourcebooks. It is just as logical to say that the monthly sourcebook model was a poor one rather than saying digital tools kept you from buying books. Really, who can keep up with an endless stream of classes, feats, and skills being added to the game? Who would want to? Conversely, WOTC was getting a GUARANTEED $120 a year from you, or the equivalent of three sourcebook purchases a year. Thus, one can conclude that WOTC was getting money from you on a steady basis even though their publication model was a poor one. [/QUOTE]
