OK, so basically someone ha ssomehting for sale, and you think the price is too high?
That's fine. Happens every day. Just don't take them up on the offer.
But the anger at them daring to try to sell something to you at a price you don't want to pay? That's not justified. Do you wander round shops ranting at them because some things have less value value to you than the price they're asking?

That just makes me want to kick someone in the nuts! You are rightfully so to be offended by that section because it is a slap in the face not only to publishers, but consumers as well.

I'm not
offended by it. I'm running a business. The cost of that product (the D&D logo) is currently too high for me. I have no business being
offended.

That sarcasm is not necessary. It's their IP. They can attach whatever price to it they like. You can agree to pay the price or not, depending whether you think it's a good deal.
It's like buying a car. I, at present, feel the car is too expensive; so I'm keeping my old one. If they reduce the price, I might buy it.
I'm not mad at the car company for not giving me a free car, though.
