Sure, that's certainly true. But not only are you locked into that VTT now, which great that that works for you, but that's a hard pass...

Why would you need to buy more than once? If you actually plan ahead, and find the VTT that's right for you and they actually sell legal...

The folks I game with that dislike self-hosting mostly expressed that they dislike it from the hoster's POV - letting someone else...
