Book-Friend, he/him
Maybe. I don't use Beyond for anything other than claiming freebies, so it's not a value to me. What WotC should do is sell digital bundles through FLGS.I sometimes get the alt cover, but I have to like it better by enough to justify it, and frequently I do not like it better at all…
Also, recently the bundle is a better option for me, same price but with the digital version on DDB and the regular cover. I assume that is hurting FLGS now
If my alt covers from my FLGS came with Neyond material, that would hook me into their ecosystem more (though I don't do digital tools). Win for WotC, good for stores.
