[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9436158, member: 7025282"] The problem is people worry that other people are powerless to say “no.” Is that true? It is hard to feel left behind. Companies spend a lot of money to convince you that you need “it.” And yet…some of us think it’s on us to say no. Even some of us that sometimes fall prey to the game. I am in love with D&D and it’s been my main hobby for decades. But I am not buying a digital skin for a VTT. I am just not doing it. I am not buying any of that. Some people think others doing it means those that don’t will miss out. I don’t hear that with minis. Or other game aids. I have a big collection. Lots invested. My friends? One other pal has a similar habit. The others have no interest and choose not to engage with that marketing or those purchases. I don’t like micro transactions. I don’t want a VTT. And I don’t engage. The end. If I DM I pull out the foam mountains and plastic skeletons and my other pal uses theater of the mind/paper and pencil. You just have to be able to follow your own path. What I don’t look forward to is most sponsored events that feature this digital stuff. So you guessed it: I won’t participate. But my game with my kids and pals will rock on. [/QUOTE]
