WotC tried several times and eventually gave up and went with a complete third party solution, providing only the content. As soon as you let thousands of different machines with hundreds of different configurations install your app you have a HUGE headache on your hands and a handfull of developers get overwhelmed very fast. Even if you are very very lucky and everything works perfectly on known configurations and the source code is completely easily maintainable, which I promise you will be very unlikely.I think these other VTT's like roll20 and WotC's third party partner have had the chance to slowly build up their feature set and fix bugs. To slowly expand their user base and deal with the issues at a more sustainable pace for their companies sizes. That takes time, so any competitor that want's to go that successful route will HAVE to start with less functionality and HAVE to be able to survive the time it takes to build that up.But the competition is already ramping up and getting fierce.</blockquote>
