The problem here is that now that the preorder has gone sideways, lets say you have your digital copies via D&D Beyond -- or at least you've been charged for them -- but maybe you want to cut your losses and buy the physical copies (at full price) at your local shop when they come out.* Which would theoretically be fine, if you had already paid for the digital rulebooks at 10 bucks a pop... but you've already paid more than what you were initially expecting for the digital versions.*And just so folks know this isn't an overreaction on my part, D&D Beyond kind of presented this as a viable option, frankly. After back-to-back emails on 9/10 stating that the payment had failed and that the PHB physical order had been cancelled, there was a follow up email on 9/11 stating: "If you would prefer to opt out of the re-processing for this preorder, please reach out to <a href="https://linkst.dndbeyond.com/click/36703836.411/aHR0cHM6Ly9kbmQtc3VwcG9ydC53aXphcmRzLmNvbS9oYy9lbi11cy9yZXF1ZXN0cy9uZXc_dGlja2V0X2Zvcm1faWQ9ODY0MDcxMzk5ODQ4NCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWRkYl9lbWFpbCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW9yZ2FuaWMmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXRyYW5zYWN0aW9uYWxfb3JkZXJzXzA5XzExXzIwMjQmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9ZW1haWwmdXRtX3Rlcm09MDlfMTFfMjAyNA/5f74bf9dfa98e30180868664Ba29924c9" target="_blank">Wizards Customer Support</a>.
