It is unlikely there are any mid-to-large RPG companies that have created a VTT just because they love us. They might very well love us (I believe most RPG companies do), but they have limited resources and staff and families to feed. They need to make money. A VTT for a company like Paizo needs to have a purpose. It might be designed to just get people to hang out at the site. Or it might be designed to sell additional components, such as digital adventures. Regardless, there should be goals that make the benefits outweigh the costs.When I read Lisa's statement on the forums, it sounded like the same things Wizards had said. "It's free... except, well, wait. We need some time to think this over and figure out the model." That's no good for them or for us. They should figure out the model very quickly and communicate it clearly. A company should not be at the screen shot stage and still figuring out what to offer. This should have been cemented ages ago.</blockquote>
