They're working to drive their customers to being dependent on WotC's online tools whether it's the VTT, D&D Beyond, or some other APP. And the more reliant their customers are on these online tools, the more influence WotC will have on how the game is played, which, in turn, will help them market the heck out of us and get those recurrent spending dollars.How are they going to do that? Genuinely curious, as it is unclear to me how they could.
This is true. It'll be a long, long time, if ever, WotC abandons the table top in its entirety. They're not going to pivot overnight, they'll go slowly just to acclimate their customers to the changes rather than risk driving them to competitors or out of the hobby entirely. I do wonder what impact the uprising against the OGL changes had on any of their monetization plans.I admit that I can see a future where that happens, but it isn't next year. It's sometime in the far future when paper books are like vinyl is for records now. As long as publishing books remains a profitable industry they're going to keep making books. Their digital strategy is where they see growth, but the books are where they get a constant stream of revenue currently.
