Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 9332408" data-attributes="member: 2525">They literally just left money on the table by cancelling the microtransactions in DNDBeyond, which has some fair popularity and were priced to make them money from people who didn't want to buy entire books. It seems they did this to quiet accusations of microtransactions...though it's only strangely fueled them because apparently it's opposite day. There is no evidence it was competing with macrotransactions - and if there were, that would be further evidence they're less likely to create systems that involved microstransactions and just learned a lesson about them detracting from a primary product.I mean this whole topic was intermingled with the "and they want to get rid of print books" while this announcement also increased the accessibility of print books. I really think we've reached the "Any WOTC news will be spun as negative WOTC news and twisted to further whatever anti-WOTC spin we're trying to put on things" stage of these discussions. If WOTC were rescuing babies I suspect people would claim they were doing it just to distract from some other bad thing.</blockquote>
