[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9433270, member: 6801845"] First, "control their digital ecosystem" is not what people seem to be worried about. Second, what does that even mean? The dreaded MICROTRANSACTIONS which are somehow different from all the paraphernalia like terrain, minis and dice I've collected over the years? I'm actually dissapointed they stopped selling just parts of books since I don't use modules but occasionally bought items and monsters. Is it the VTT? Again, that's totally optional and nothing they can force on anyone. It might be a nice tool for some people and if done right a good alternative to the VTTs we have now. If you don't want to use it, don't. People keep raising the mysterious abstract fears, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of explanation for or justification of those fears. They have DDB and people subscribe to it which give them a known and relatively stable income stream. It works well for a lot of people because of how we can share products with everyone. For others it's not a great solution, but they can stick with books like we did for decades. See above. I don't see why this is an issue. I assume they're still figuring that out. I ignore most of the videos and am no way worried about them. I just disagree with the conclusions. [/QUOTE]
