Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9897103" data-attributes="member: 7006">I am of the opinion that anything online that someone spends money on is something that person knows they are "renting" not "buying".  So if (general) you spend money on a subscription to DDB and spend money to access D&D books through DDB... you are doing so knowing that at some point in the future there is a possibility that you will lose access to it.  But that's part of the cost of doing business wanting to use DDB, and people do it because the money they spend for the time they DO have access to all of it will have been worth it in the end.  And for those that don't want to... (general) you don't HAVE to use DDB if the idea of "renting" things bothers you, which is exactly why a lot of (general) you don't.  And that's great!  You have chosen not to go into this particular line of product acquisition.But that means that yes... there will thus be D&D things you will not be able to get for yourself.  But that's already true, because as I said upthread, you are already not getting all manner of D&D material.  Now yes... there is the difference in that (general) you aren't getting most of that D&D material because you have made the choice not to get it (in book form, from DMs Guild, or whatever/wherever), and in the case of these exclusives it because you don't have access to them (and thus don't have a choice in the matter.)  But I still think nobody is actually losing out... because the material being released would have to be of such a high quality that missing out on it actually was a problem or hardship.  But it's not.  It's all just another piece of product.  No different than the others thousands of pieces of product (general) you also aren't getting.  So I personally do not feel you are being kicked in the shins about this or anything, and I venture WotC doesn't either.If (general) you want new D&D material... buy any of the thousands of pieces you don't have yet that you can easily pick up.  You don't have to have these specific pieces and they aren't so great or important that it's an issue that you can't.</blockquote>
