I love the idea that they have an open game license, personally. I've become quite attached to an unofficial app that bridged the gaps between my access to my DMs copies of the books, specifically during times when I didn't have internet access. Because of this, despite having legit copies until the Humble Bundle, I have been able to become more knowledgeable on the source material than anyone in my group on most topics.

Frankly, I think every newbie should be made aware of the PRD. It's especially useful right now since many are still having trouble getting their PDFs :)

As I have said more than once, anti-piracy measures in general are dumb because piracy enlarges fanbases and boosts sales more than it siphons them off.

Paizo has that covered.

See the Rules Archive (PRD) towards the top of the left hand column on this page? There isn't much need to 'pirate' the rules when they're freely available. The open game license... another way to enlarge fanbases and boost sales.

The DRM has been explained multiple times. It's to a) discourage* pirating of the files and b) to prove that a copy is yours should you use it in official Pathfinder Society gatherings.

* note that I did say "discourage" not "prevent" -- That discussion has already been done

Tabbymouse explained it in the post right after that one.

No he didn't. Like, he didn't even approach the topic of why that feature is there.

I was still having the time out issue when attempting to download PDFs in Edge even today so I double checked the settings and disabled the predictive page loading. Suddenly, without having to clear my cache, I'm downloading everything with absolutely NO hiccups. I have also haven't had to give files more than thirty seconds to personalize.

I think this is where the hang up may be for some people now that the problem has been fixed on the Paizo end. It is probably also the case for other browsers, and I might test Chrome in a little bit.

Congrats on a successful Humble Bundle, guys!
