[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9455357, member: 7020527"] I am talking about problems that will affect everyone, and you are trying really hard to boil it down to "it's jsut a you problem" because it's easier. but D&D Beyond in particular is not easy to circumvent. Say someone runs a game on D&D Beyond. Say you were invited. Say you own books from Kobold Press or MCDM or Ghostfire Gaming. Beautiful hardcover physical copies. Guess what? You cannot use them to make your character on D&D Beyond without breaking terms of service, because you have to buy them on D&D Beyond AGAIN. If you just copypaste material from the books you own on your sheet without buying them on the website, it is now egible to deletion for copyright infrigment. And you simply cannot legally get stuff from Kickstarter from anywhere else, except long after Kickstarter is done with it. There is a huge amount of material on DriveThru RPG and its subsitiadies (DMSGuild, Storyteller's Vault, Pathfinder Infinite) that you legally cannot get anywhere else. Case in point, there are entire campaigns on DMSGuild - The New Black Dawn, Labor of the Dragon God, Sword Coast Coup - you CANNOT get anywhere else. These are all chokepoints. Your stance is reductive and tries to boil down the problem to just either a personal issue or something I have seen happen to others, which would then make both of them easy to dismiss. You are trying to drag down widespread and reoccuring problems to individual levels to dismantle them without having to actually adress the root of the problem. The thing is, we see constantly this happen in every other field, the same scenario occuring whenever chokepoints appear. it is a pattern and we';re witnessing it begins to form in rpgs. And personally I'll be damned if I let disgusting corporations and parasites in charge of it to ruin this hoppy like they ruined everything else. [/QUOTE]
