[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7524213, member: 6704184"] It’s so weird to quote someone and then block them, especially when I literally wasn’t even rude to them or anything. But, yeah, I think they misunderstood from the start what the argument was. I was stating (correctly) that DDB is the iTunes of dnd 5e content. On either platform, the platform doesn’t give you anything for free (unless it’s made free from the copyright holder), but does allow you to add your own content that you own to the service, for your own personal use. They kept replying as if I’m wrong, while literally describing the same thing I had already described. I don’t get it. Oh well, the point is, DDB doesn’t require you to purchase things you already own. It just requires you to pay if you want DDB to unlock that content for you, without you having to input it manually, and doesnt allow you to share copyrighted material via the homebrew system. Iteration may well improve the model, but they’re doing the same thing the music industry did with iTunes. Maybe someday wotc will go back to the Spotify model hey used with 4e’s ddI system, but for now we have iTunes. [/QUOTE]
