I'm a better PC roleplayer than a pen-and-paper one, but if I only had the time (and the colleagues to play with), I'd prefer to be the latter. Countless players still rely on their hardcopy books and magazines when they sit around the table, roll the dice, and delve into dungeons -- I can't imagine them lugging around their laptops and checking up on some e-book/e-magazine that WoTC would release in the future ;) Mmm, I believe it’s more because WoTC deemed that they can more effectively push out (and sell) their content through the Internet, which in turn I deem as lousy reasoning, hehe.

Perhaps it's down to the rise of excellent PC roleplayers and the PS2? I never bought many of either of these magazines, but I’m genuinely shocked that there is no longer a market for them.
