Something that can run Dragon Age Inquisition with good graphics quality. As far as digital content, it’s barely the same company. They’ve bought and formed video game studios, and can give them a real budget. That’s a bit of a jump. I’d bet $30 right now that there is at least one free full adventure on the service, and the ability to make your own stuff. This is the only doom-calling I’ve seen about the vtt that I agree is remotely likely. I’m not super sympathetic, since DDB is free, but sure. Probably. I extremely doubt this. Like the unreal engine isn’t even owned by wotc, first of all. Secondly, wotc has not behaved like you’re suggesting anytime in the last 8 years. For an example of how things may change, look at the history of the MorePurpleMoreBetter character sheet. When DDB came out, they told him he could only have SRD content in the sheet, without having paid for a license. What they didn’t do, is tell VTTs they had to either use DDB or suck it, they just enforced basic IP protection via licensing, which they already do with any VTT you pay for. Again, look into how DDB actually works, as opposed to how people incorrectly claim it works. What it’ll look like is a space where you can get basic stuff for free (or a simple software purchase), with supplemental content requiring secondary purchase (just like anywhere else. You don’t get expansions for free when you buy a AAA video game, either) and the ability to make your own stuff, as well as buy paid content whole or piecemeal.</blockquote>
