[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 8862158, member: 6845520"] Yes. Because Wizards, a corporate entity under Hasbro would [I]totally[/I] tell the truth about a major reason for not releasing pdfs being that they want to "encourage" people to use their proprietary (and now 1st party) system in order to have any sort of electronic access to their ruleset, especially when, ya know, specifically admitting to that is a [I]crime[/I] in the United States? In other news: everything you read on the internet is true, there's a certain Nigerian prince out there who wants to give you money, and there really are hot singles in yor local area looking to meet you. More to the rest of your post: I can see the argument that perhaps retailers may have been worried about sales of physical books, but...as has been brought up in this age old argument for why there are no pdfs time and time again, why not simply attach codes to download pdfs to the sale of physical books? Both sides win. And before you claim this would detract from sales rom people pirating the pdfs, news flash bud, they already do. It just ain't legal. (Obligatory disclaimer that I do not endorse piracy). [/QUOTE]
