Maybe. Just trying to make sense of a price point that is far too rich for my tastes.
D&D (2024) New leak looks real bad
Vaalingrade

The reason D&D has so little official material and support is because 5e was put out as a placeholder for the actual product of D&D IP. 'Evergreen' is a nice way of saying 'barely supported'.
That it came out into a perfect storm of edition war fatigue, Actual Plays coming into their own, and 80's nostalgia hitting a crescendo was pure accident that they never lifted a finger to capitalize on.
Now they're yowling and whining about it being 'under-monetized' when they absolutely could have for a decade of lucky breaks up to and including the planet shutting down and everyone being trapped in their home playing board games.

Anyone who pays any kind of monthly fee to play any RPG is a sucker in my book.

I really the Role For Combat commentary. They have a knack for getting to that points that really matter. Their insider industry contacts are impressive.
Well there you go, the very guy who leaked the new OGL in the first place is confirming it.

He’s showing the earlier fake…and saying it’s actually real. And that he has sources for that image being real. He says it’ll be a couple of days before he can talk about it more.

Eh, I have players scattered across 12 time zones and some of them have real financial hardship. Passing books around the table isn't realistic. For us, the current DDB set-up is a great real.
A minor error. He has confirmation from inside WotC that the latest leak is real.

What game are you two talking about? World of Warcraft sunsetted after Legion.
I'm glad the new expansion is good. I, uh, won't be reupping, but bad games aren't good for anyone.
It took me a long time to justify paying $108/year for a music streaming service, and I am still not convinced it is money well spent. I see my $156/year for FFXIV largely as a "keep Square Enix management from effing with the game" tax, and I still get antsy when my hours in game are low.
It shakes me to the core that anyone would consider paying $360/year for any library, or game, or even both. By all means, rail against corporations, but it is the consumers who really frighten me.
