[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7524561, member: 6804070"] You can get the access to the content you already own, you can get access to content you own in a printed version in a digital version for free. And that seems to be your complaint. So, again, you think all the hard work should have been done for free. And, it wasn't a snarky comment, it was a very real, serious, and genuine comment. Pointing out that you are expecting to get something that requires work, effort and cost for less than what the people who did the work are willing to sell it for. So, your not willing to do the work to convert the WotC content you already own to DDB or another digital format because you feel entitled to a digital version for free because you bought a printed version. You feel "they" are missing out on an opportunity to do what? Give you a digital version for free? Because you already have the opportunity to upsell services to you. But really, your only complaint is that either it costs too much, or it takes too much work to do it yourself. And I'm sure their are lots of people willing to do what you do, no matter what price WotC, DDB, FG puts on their products, it will ALWAYS be too expensive for those that are willing to access it illegally (i.e. steal it). How do you know Apple didn't try? You don't. How do you know WotC didn't try? You don't. Neither company makes public all of the opportunities and possible market endeavors that they spend time and money looking into. Just because they didn't say they were trying, or that they tried and failed, doesn't mean they didn't try. Besides, maybe they decided they couldn't, or maybe they decided it wasn't a good business decisions for a thousand possible reasons. Yea, the disconnect is that you don't get it. You can upload all your your content from your purchased books to DDB just like you can upload your CDs to iTunes. Apparently you don't get that or don't like the effort involved. Sure, it's much more time consuming to upload your PHB to DDB than it is to rip a CD to iTunes, but it can be done for free, if you want. Just like I can upload the PHB to Fantasy Grounds if I want. You can convert your printed PHB to the supported digital formats for FREE if you want to. You don't have to re-buy the content, but if you want it in DDB or FG and $25 of your money is worth the time it takes to convert it on your own, that's your judgement call. [/QUOTE]
