[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9446889, member: 6801845"] The cards you get for MtG have a direct impact on whether or not you win the game. Visual assets do not help you "win" D&D any more than fancy dice, minis, or terrain from Dwarven Forge. I really don't know why you're harping on this idea that Sigil is a "monopoly". A company controlling their own product is not what the word "monopoly" means. On the other hand Sigil will integrate with DDB and Kobold Press is now selling products on DDB which means that yes, Sigil will support Kobold Press indirectly. It's also being designed to play whatever game you want. Yes, Sigil will have a leg up that other companies do not have. But if that was all you needed to be successful was being associated to a successful company we'd all be using Microsoft's Zune and Ford's Edsel would have been a best seller. I see no reason to think they will expect people to pay for multiple copies of the same 3D mini. No other VTT does it now. [I]Could[/I] they? Of course. They could also install a virus that secretly drains your bank account. There's no reason for them to do that either. I'm sure there will be plenty of ways to spend money on Sigil just like every other VTT, it just won't be anything that stupid. [/QUOTE]
