You absolutely do have to consider precedent if you want to understand people's reaction to a change. You don't have to consider it to comment on people's reaction, but that's very different to understanding it.
I agree that the severity isn't comparable at all, the issue is that this is step two on the path of as @darjr put it "enshitification" (as per Cory Doctorow) - step 1 was removing the ability to purchase individual components.
Not the same. Comparing a vital need (food) to an entertainment desire (RPG books) is a serious lack of understanding of 1st world problems.
The print bundle is also not available in the EU Store. If you add all the books separately it does not count as a bundle. You don't get a discount nor the digital extras.
I need to clarify. The "no you don't" comment wasn't about understanding other's reactions. I see how it came of that way, but it wasn't my intent. I do agree if you want to understand, precedent it helpful - but not everything you need either.
Then what about the steps they've done to improve the product? Or do we only count the negatives?
and a net negative compared to the recent past… the current change is a change towards the negative, and that change is what the complaints are about.
No you can't, that was clearly the point of my response.
"Net" includes all debits and credits. So as of right now it is a net positive from when DnD Beyond started.
Are you suggesting that waiting to get a game system after Christmas (instead of on C-Day) is the same as a starving person waiting 2 weeks to get food? Is that what you say is so?
