Is WotC allowed to compete in this market?I ask this because you seem to be arguing in this post, and in prior posts, that WotC making a good product is bad. Does that mean that WotC making a bad product is best for consumers? Or is WotC making any product bad? Is WotC just not able to compete, in your view, without causing issues?There's an analogy here with criminal behavior. If someone wanted to go to the bank. But it's, hypothetically, possible they pull out a tommy gun and rob that bank. Should they not go to the bank based on the mere possibility? Should we presume any one who wants to go to the bank has that intent?Here is another example;The problem here is that this requires two parties to agree to the terms to begin with. And every third party on DNDBeyond has other methods of selling their product. But because it is, hypothetically, possible that this happens, WotC shouldn't pursue making better products?Isn't that the same as the tommy gun example? Aren't we telling WotC not to go to the bank, because it's possible they find a tommy gun and decide to rob it? Even if that's not currently the plan or intent? Essentially, dictating a course of action on presumed intent?Seems utterly wild and unsustainable to me as I read it. But I could be misunderstanding. A world where presumed intent is the standard is scary indeed.</blockquote>
