$3/ month isn't that bad. And you really only need it if you want to use homebrew.
Anything RPG related I buy in book form that has a related pdf gives me the pdf for free. Except this.
Every Blu-ray/UHD disc I currently buy gives me a portable digital file for free.
Every CD I buy I can legally and easily rip for portable use.
If "act like your competition" is whining, so be it. I play D&D for the tactile nature of the game. Yeah, I'd use digital tools if I were miles away from the other players but if I'm sitting with my fellow players I'll need more incentive than what they're giving me.
$29.99 (regular price) for a PHB or spend $0.78 more for an actual copy? I'd rather do the latter and have another copy on my bookshelf. If you charged me $10 for a pdf I couldn't share, I'd go for that.

Some do.Every Blu-ray/UHD disc I currently buy gives me a portable digital file for free.
You can do that too.Every CD I buy I can legally and easily rip for portable use.
What competition? D&D dominates it's field and barely operates by the same methods as many of their "competition".If "act like your competition" is whining, so be it.
Then maybe this product isn't for you...I play D&D for the tactile nature of the game. Yeah, I'd use digital tools if I were miles away from the other players but if I'm sitting with my fellow players I'll need more incentive than what they're giving me.
Let's see... the best selling RPGS of the last year or so:$29.99 (regular price) for a PHB or spend $0.78 more for an actual copy? I'd rather do the latter and have another copy on my bookshelf. If you charged me $10 for a pdf I couldn't share, I'd go for that.
