[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9435560, member: 22779"] Are we seriously at the point where companies should be [I]losing [/I]money in order to not be seen as predatory? I mean, duh. A company wants to make the most profit it can. That's like saying rain is wet. Your arguement though seemed to be that WotC will use predatory models to gouge the users when there isn't any actual evidence of that. And as far as the VTT or D&D Beyond having an impact on the writing of books, I would point you to this thread: [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/wotc-removes-digital-content-team-credits-from-d-d-beyond.705711/"]WotC - WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond[/URL] where the former Senior Producer from D&D Beyond says that she and her team, "While at Wizards (so after D&D Beyond was purchased) - with numerous books, my digital content team and I worked directly with the book team on the content, reading through rules drafts, suggesting changes, giving ideas, and catching issues. We had a full database of the content and understood exactly how it interacted. Given that we were contributing to the content in the books, I felt it reasonable to request that team be added to the credits" Considering this has been going on for several years and the D&D Beyond team has been given writing credits as far back as 2022 with the Radiant Citadel. So, it's not like this hasn't been the case for some time. [/QUOTE]
