We've a saying for such illogical poorly thought out products that are more about the aesthetics than actual functionality of a product: "It's made by a designer or artist, not a programmer or engineer."Their setup is absolutely terrible and bloated, is absolutely awful at handling homebrew content or ANY form of house rules, and it's completely asinine that their physical books don't come with codes for digital copies or pdf files on a subscription service, especially after Wizards has now direct purchased it. At the very least they should make it workable offine via some sort of download/browser cache options.Frankly speaking their website reminds of the difference with apple macbooks and PCs: one is for people who foolishly think that purchasing a mediocre product at outrageous prices is borderline impossible to improve yourself yet offers a couple of "fun" ideas and brand recognition, while the other is for people who actually know what the hell they are doing. Frankly they can keep their website, I'll stick to using the physical books reference to piracy removed. And if like some are suggesting they are actually dumb enough to try and switch to electronic only the future then I guess I've found the d&d edition I'll just stop playing at, or give their competition a whirl again. I do so enjoy reminding them that pathfinder and paizo do still exist in their surveys any time they ask which editions of d&d I've played, while proudly leaving 4th ed unchecked.</blockquote>
