[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7148295, member: 37579"] Oh yeah, notifications. Yeah, that's also a thing and likely super handy. Well, yeah. But they're likely already able to get that stuff by looking at who bought 3rd party psionics and mystics. You say the above like it's a bad thing… If there's a lot of mystic fans spending a lot of money, that incentivises WotC to put out a more mystic-focused product for that audience. If there's only a small mystic fanbase, they can prioritize other content, making everyone else happy. Does anyone really think they'll get rich making RPGs? As for no one making money of this but WotC, the modest sales of my artificer document disagree. It's a non-zero amount. A couple sales each week. Admittedly not much, but when it's a couple sales each week for a dozen products it adds up. I'm not getting rich by any stretch of the imagination. But DMsGuild sales have allowed me to just throw money at whatever Print-on-Demand DMsGuild product I want. I can buy D&D stuff on a whim. No one is requiring people on the DMsGuild to charge. There's no shortage of PWYW and free products. What do you want anyway: freely shared fan content with no paywalls or people other than WotC making money?
