Message: <blockquote data-quote="MechaPilot" data-source="post: 7720219" data-attributes="member: 82779">DDB doesn't "own" the lion's share of "their" content either.  They licensed the right to spit WotCs content out through the pieces of content they actually did create, the app.  And I have no problem with DDB charging for the app (I'm a tax accountant, I know how business works).  What I have a problem with is DDB charging us to give us more of WotC's content that we already paid WotC for.I'm not complaining about paying to use an app.  What I'm complaining about is tantamount to buying something once and having it charged on my account twice, which is what's happening here.There is a price for the app, and a price for adding the content of a WotC book to the app.  The app, and WotC's content are separate things.  If I already own a WotC book, then paying the price to have its content added to the app is being double-charged for WotC's.Not at all.  I've had . . . let's call them spirited . . . discussions with other posters who disagree with me.  Generally, people around here know me to quite civil, even when I'm in vehement disagreement with others.  You're the one who came out trying to dismiss everyone who complained about the pricing scheme of DDB as freeloading anti-capitalists and proclaimed from on high a self-righteous prediction that people who disagreed with you would one day be proven to have eaten their words.You want people to buy your product, don't try to charge them for things they already own or they might not like it.  That's also how capitalism works.I hope you're enjoying that strawman.</blockquote>
