It looks like Wizards might be returning to the method of compiling their entire lot of monthly articles for each and every DRAGON and DUNGEON, into downloadable PDFs.
The current issue, DRAGON #416, is now available here:- http://wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dragon/2012October |

Love their idea to compile the articles into one pdf, but unfortunately I don't have any spare coppers to rub together to subscribe for a DDI account, and frankly, I never will as I don't see the point in having an account just for the articles. |

I am very pleased they're doing this.
It's way overdue and makes for a more professional, organized presentation of monthly material.
Which is to say I am far more likely to at least look over something non-Realms that's in Dragon or Dungeon when these magazines are compiled and "shipped" in one long-form PDF.
EDIT: It also makes citing a source easier when compiling material for reference purposes on wiki pages and the like. |

I was happy with the original way of doing things, making each article separate and with the option of downloading the whole thing at the end of the month. That way, any changes they could make to the rules or content could be made throughout the month (due to proper feedback) and put the "final" magazine together as a full-download.
Also, as a Piece-by-piece magazine they COULD have made each article a separate cost that didn't require a DDI account. LIke Wooly mentiones, a lot of people might have downloaded JUST the Forgotten Realms articles or the Eberron or Dark Sun articles but left everthing alone. This could be say, $5.00 an article but with a full DDI account, you get a discount because your subscribing to the whole thing.
Just seemed like a missed opportunity to get more money from non-DDI subscribers. |

Until recently was not aware they stopped putting them together like promised. *sighs* |

Which further indicates that they're never going to adopt a pay-per-article approach... Oh, well, I can continue not giving them money. |
