[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9207847, member: 6802378"] We could agree all eggs shouldn't be put in only one basket. My opinion is Hasbro is more interested into IPs as multimedia franchises than the market of TTRPGs. If they were interested, then they would acquired more IPs of other TTRPGs by other companies, or other titles besides D&D. Hasbro doesn't want to sell more RPGs but more D&D merchadising products (toys, novels, comics, videogames..) 3PPs suffer a serious handicap. Even when their titles are right, they may fall into the oblivion easily. Here there is the reason because D&D-Beyond should be good as showcase for the 3PPs. D&D is the main superstar in the TTRPG industry, but it is not the only option, it is not the [I]"only coke bottle in the dessert".[/I] The true rival for D&D isn't the other publishers, but the videogame industry, and this market is the true goal for Hasbro. Here Paizo's Pathfinder can be a serious rival, but this should be good for players, a piece of competence because then they should worry to offer a better product. And now other videogame studios will try to create their own version of BG3. We can't blame them. My suggestion for the VTT is to add AI to create portraits of the characters and the encounters (and an app style "create your own comic"), and tools easy to be used for streamers to create their own actual-play shows, and even animated machinima replays of their games (but then the figures would need lots of animations style Sims videogames).
