Hey, are we all cool with having to buy the same book twice, or what?

[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7988922, member: 37579"] Aside from paranoia/ cynicism, is there a reason to think we won't get DnDBeyond for the duration of 5e and longer? We have one point of reference and WotC kept it going over twice the lifespan of the edition (2010 to 2020, a full 10 years, with 4e being actively supported from 2008 to 2012 or 4 years.) And they only retired it because Microsoft stopped supporting Silverlight. Even if DnDBeyond [I]only[/I] lasts as long, that still takes us to 2027. A fair length of time. And if it lasts the same length after 5e, if 5e is replaced in 2025—which feels far too soon with how things are going—we'll have DnDBeyond to 2033. Both pretty darn far in the future. I have a Minidisc player. More blank discs? Less so... That's why I'm using my old iPod classic that I cracked open and installed a 250 gig mico-SSD into. Yeah. I skipped Blu-Ray until I got my PS4, and will probably skip 4K until I upgrade my TV and buy a PS5 or 6. I think that stuff is driven more my video games that TV/movies these days, with the 4k blu-rays just taking advantage of tech people have to play [I]God of War[/I] in ultra-HD. [/QUOTE]
