This is a difficult topic to discuss with strangers online. I'm not looking for a heated argument. Honestly, I'm looking for information and compromise.
Short story. My old college friends want to play an online game. The DM is sold on Roll20. I've bought in to Fantasy Grounds. I wasn't big on Roll20's subscription model and preferred the one-time cost of FG (and a better UI, in my opinion).
Then the controversy came out last year. I don't want to dredge up all those details, but it involved a few of my favorite YouTubers, and I felt insulted by Roll20's statements. Because of these statements, I've essentially boycotted Roll20. I don't even want to use their free services (Compendium, etc.)
Should I back down on this for the sake of my friends' game? Should I try to encourage them to play on another service? The inner dwarf in me wonders "how long is long enough to hold a grudge?"
