Message: <blockquote data-quote="Not a Decepticon" data-source="post: 9455572" data-attributes="member: 7020527">I shwoed an example of how D&D Beyond cannot be easily circumvented, to fit your own definition of a chokepoint YOU insisted on. I played by your argument and showed a weakness in it. Acussing me of trying to change definitions when I played by your rules is akin to hiding your head in the sand.GM is a customer as are everyone else who buy the books to play.And why do you think WotC marketing is so agressively pushing the image of D&D being something you ONLY do through D&D Beyond, to the point their commercials for D&D 2024 have people sit at the table, push away the books, and then play on tablets? WotC wants to create culture where playing through D&D Beyond is default and exclude those who do not want to abbandon pen and paper or cannot afford a tablet. It's one of reasons why I hate it so much.So who is now changing definitions? I pointed out in what way content from DMSGuild (and Pathfinder Infinite and Storyteller's Vault) is not avialable anywhere else due to the very licenses you are trying to defend. The fact this content is avialable only there makes it what you yourself pointed as a chokepoint trait - that it cannot be circumvented. It seems to me you're moving the goalposts now.My problem is that the specific forms of evidence you asked for are 1) personal experience, which can be dismissed as "it's jsut a you problem" in an attempt to undermine the whole issue by focusing on me as a single individual. I had been victim to this very line of argument before. b) asking if I have seen other people it happens to, which is ANECDOTAL evidence that is not substantial, and in fact serves to make one's argument weaker.Could you provide request that doesn't look liike a blatant attempt at setting up a rhetorical trap?</blockquote>
