[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9129817, member: 6801845"] The new revision and the VTT are not what derail every single thread about the business side of things. The OGL was a stupid unforced error, but the decision was also reversed before implementation yet it inevitably comes up on every single thread when business aspects of the game are discussed in length. I don't even know what this supposed "walled garden" could be. If you need a VTT and your current VTT works for you, you can keep using them. Same with the 2024 edition, if you like your current game the books are not going to self destruct. D&D is not heading towards and will never be a digital only product for the foreseeable future. I use DndBeyond because I think it's a good product that is worth my money but if it was turned off tomorrow it wouldn't change much. It's a convenience. Is WOTC interested in making money? Of course they are! It's how they make money so they can continue to get a paycheck. I'll continue to check out new products when they're released and make a decision at that point, just like I always have. I quite enjoyed the D&D movie and Baldur's Gate 3, they certainly figured out how to separate me from some of my hard earned money for those products. Since I enjoyed the movie and spent a couple hundred hours playing the game (I'm too much of a completionist for my own good) it was worth it to me. Meanwhile D&D can be, and remains, one of the cheapest forms of entertainment available in terms of hours of entertainment per dollar spent. [/QUOTE]
