Message: <blockquote data-quote="djotaku" data-source="post: 9851168" data-attributes="member: 7054471">To your first paragraph - 100% and I would add ANOTHER reason why people might still buy on DND beyond: formatting for phones and tablets. I have PDFs from Kobold Press (both D&D and Tales of the Valiant) and Paizo (Pathfinder 2e and Starfinder 1e). There is a lot I love about the PDFs. 1) control-F to find a spell, feat, etc 2) being able to have all my books while on vacation if I want to play with family member 3) less wear/tear on my physical books. But what I HATE about PDFs is trying to read them on my phone. What's pretty awesome to read on my phone? DndBeyond. (I imagine that Demiplane Nexus is the same). I wish for a super cheap price that I could add my Paizo and KP books to something like Demiplane for reading on my phone.To your second paragraph - 100% true. ALSO, Paizo and KP release PDFs. Unregulated use is not killing their business. SHOOT - Paizo has all their rules for free on Archives of Nethys, anyway! But looping back around to your first paragraph, I would definitely via dndbeyond as the same as buying a book/module for Foundry, Roll20, etc. Although my wallet hates it, I've come around to the understanding that making all that stuff work correctly (linking, formatting, etc) requires buying my books again if I want them in the VTT. And I do do that for KP Tales of the Valiant stuff oin Foundry. So if WotC had PDFs of their books I would still buy them on dndbeyond or Foundry (or roll20, etc).</blockquote>
