Why is that not going to happen, and instead that shelf space will be empty and WoTC will... send out vibes I guess?No, I'm not focused on the next 12 months, I'm looking for the logical plan here. If in 15 years WoTCs plan is that people will buy the digital rulebooks instead of the paper rulebooks... how do they get people who are not looking to buy Dungeons and Dragons to see Dungeons and Dragons books? IF it is by them seeing really expensive books on the shelves that they don't want to buy.... congrats, you've lost a potential buyer for Dungeons and Dragons. No one is going to look at a $100 book and go "I bet they have a cheaper, more immersive and all-around better digital version of this that I can subscribe to". People would see it and go "that must be for rich people who like to waste their money." So, the proposed action isn't leading to the proposed goal.If it is a measly 10% that the companies could care less about.... why do they still sell the games in the stores? IF you are right, those games should not exist. So explain it, why do those games exist being sold in stores, if the end goal is to have no products sold in stores? Is World of Warcraft only on year twelve of their fifteen year plan to stop selling in physical stores?I don't need evidence that someone isn't planning on doing something, because that evidence by definition wouldn't exist. And yes, you have been forced to admit multiple times that you have no evidence, that you are just speculating, and that there is nothing but essentially bad vibes leading to your conclusion. Oh, and that video games are currently suffering from bad video game industry practices, which will of course naturally affect other markets the exact same way, or more specifically, they will only affect DnD specifically in the exact same way. No other TTRPG, no board games, specifically and only this trend seen in the entire video game industry will only hit DnD. Because you speculate it is possible. Eventually.</blockquote>
