[QUOTE="Severite, post: 7278518, member: 6915179"] All interesting points, to be sure. I was actually looking at the "homebrew" option, and had come up with my own conclusions, which are interesting to say the least. That said, I must admit to not liking the UI for DDB either. All of that said, I personally think the price point is wrong, and I will not be paying for the digital version at that price point. I stand by my assertions on value, and will even state, that the forever availability lasts for as long as the company does. I have several computer games that I bought digitally, that were touted in much the same way, that are gone forever, not that it matters much in the great scheme of things, and no guarantee that the same fate will befall Curse, just something to keep in mind. I recognize that many people are perfectly happy buying the content again/on this format at that price point, and that's all well and good. I do not pay printed msrp for pdfs, and their format is even less versatile than that. Of course, my outlook is coloured by my complete disinterest in campaign tools as a whole, I "just" want an easy to use character creator. No matter, I will recant my statements to the effect that the price is inflammatory, as it may very well coincide with their costs, and merely conclude that their price points are too dear for my tastes, for what I will be getting g out of them, and will repeat the personal belief, that barring excessive licensing fees from WotC, which is absolutely in Witch's control, that they would gain a great many more sales if they used the price points for their character editor that I espoused earlier in the thread. Mayhap, with differentiating their products, they may be able to get more return for their investment. It really comes down to, how many people will also take up the stance I hold? If I am in the minority, then my opinion is negligible, if I am not, than how much would they stand to gain?
