[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9446847, member: 6801845"] A company controlling their own product is not a "monopoly". The D&D brand may be the 800 pound gorilla in the room but they are still licensing the rules to other VTTs. Obviously they hope to be popular and may someday be a big player. But I don't ever expect them to dominate the market and if they do it will be because they have a superior product. But even if they ever do dominate the market (which would likely take years because people are invested in other tools), it will still be a crowded marketplace. I have no expectations for the VTT one way or another. At some point I may experiment with it because we have a couple of players that are remote (we currently use a camera pointed at gaming grid) and from what I've seen it looks like something I'd prefer over Roll20, the VTT I used during COVID. But if I ever do, it will be because it works better than other VTTs at a competitive price. Yes they are trying to make the product look good. That's what people do when they want to sell something.
