[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9865246, member: 18"] DDB kinda, maps absolutely not. DDB and Sigil were at war literally from before DDB was acquired by WotC. In the great OGL 2.0 debacle, on thing that leaked was how aggressively opposed the leader of the 3D VTT team was to acquiring DDB. The way WotC handled them internally Maps a mediocre and limited version of a 2D VTT with really only technical (rather than disability) accessibility and "It's effectively free" to recommend it (which isn't nothing!), a thing that has existed since the 1990s. Even on accessibility it's beaten by things like Owlbear Rodeo. It was never in competition with the 3D VTT and isn't an impressive feature, especially given how slowly it's developed as compared to their initial goals. No. Absolutely not. Not in any area of life or work. You have to look at consistency. Every company is capable of lucking into one-off successes. BG3 and DaDHaT are currently those. Will they be followed up by more successes? Or failures? We shall see. DDB is also a one-off success but not really by WotC at all (they just acquired it) that hasn't improved all the much since it launched (I'm not saying it's nothing, but we're talking small iterative changes, no really good overhauls etc.). If they succeed, great, but expecting it is wild. [/QUOTE]
