Really, I just don't get it.They had 5E heavily play tested by fans, they used that feedback to structure the game. The game (by all accounts I have read) is a nice throwback to the "good old days", then they proceed to give it away for free!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Less than a month after the DMG comes out, the complaints about not enough books being out are getting louder and louder. Then an official book is announced and posted to their official web page. Shortly thereafter, they give us some free material via UA, and the free material gets picked apart. Now that people can't complain that the "radio silence" is killing them, it's time to complain about UN-necessary software. At this point, I honestly feel that nothing WOTC does will make people happy. Let's say they release digital tools...I can guarantee the forum will light up with complains that it's useless crap. They know this as well. Why keep giving to an audience that will only be satisfied when you let them run your business for you? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />IMO WOTC owes us nothing, they have given us a great game (isn't that what we're all here for, the actual game?). The 3 core books are beautiful, we have more books on the way, more free stuff on the way, and even some 3rd parties are using existing licenses to give us their content as well. The reality is this, there are plenty of games out there with everything that some people seem to be clamoring for. Some of these games are also great games, I'm sure. I know I love Pathfinder myself. If the product released by WOTC is not what your looking for, and you seem to be suffering through so much agony over it, why not play another game that meets all of your needs?It doesn't make sense to me why anyone would be so distraught over a game! If you hate WOTC, and everything they do is a mistake and too late when they do it, then maybe it's simply not for you. Perhaps you should play a game that makes you happy. Life is way too short to be that miserable over a game. It's also too short to be angry about what a corporation does. Take care of yourselves, find your inner peace, and evaluate why you play games in the first place. Is it for digital tools? Is it for PDF files? Is it so you can spend your money?I play for none of those reasons. I play because I think it's fun. When you're no longer having fun, play something that is fun. IMO, YMMV, Etc.</blockquote>
