[QUOTE="wilbers, post: 285151, member: 7432"] License hoarding is something else - buying license for something and not doing anything with it (such as to frustrate a competitor, or just intentions changing). Not what is happening here at all. Anyone that bought the tables before the deadline can still redownload them on the same platform if they change their console or PC - its tied to someones account, not the hardware - for example I bought a new laptop last November and can have it installed on that as well as my desktop (just that I only have 1 of TPA Williams tables as I only found out about it when they were about to be removed). Same is true with lots of software you are buying a license to use it according to what the license says (even if virtually no one bothers to read it) - applies to most of software on physical media as well, not just for downloaded software.
