It was a way around what I thought was the biggest failing of the system. Without the way around, yes, it's a flawed system. And for many of us who liked the system, we would like to have those tools available. It is was as much a part of the game experience as a one-inch grid is for Pathfinder or 5e. Yes, you can absolutely play theater of the mind, but imagine if Paizo or WotC stopping producing battle grids and forbade others from doing so. I hope that conveys how much of an inconvenience and loss this is to me and my preferred way of playing.  So I guess the point of my argument is that I don't  like only renting content, character generation tools, and playing tools. If I don't also get something that can survive the ending of the platform/provider (so if it's not a PDF or physical book), that's a red flag that what I'm buying is a temporary game experience. Put another way. I stream music on Spotify. If I really love an album, I'll buy it on vinyl also in the event something happens on Spotify or the artist is not available.</blockquote>
