[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9208751, member: 7034611"] no my reference here was other VTTs, not what gets published on DDB. As long as WotC keeps offering D&D material for Roll 20, FG and so forth and keeps the conditions the same, their VTT is competing fairly. If they make conditions worse or stop offering it altogether, it is not. They can decide what they offer on DDB, just like any other VTT can decide that. I doubt they will want to turn it into DMsGuild any time soon, but getting the bigger players on board is probably a good idea and what they do now is test the waters. Opening it up even wider and possibly even to other TTRPGs is probably far down the line, if ever, even though I consider it a smart move. Even so, what I would really like is an open format that allows the 3PPs to create one digital version of their product which can then be used on any VTT, and allows users to migrate between VTTs based on features, instead of being locked into whichever one they bought 50 books on already having more money and a more widely known product gives you inherent advantages, that does not mean you are not competing fairly. Call it not behaving anti-competitively if you want, it just is more letters, not a different concept. [/QUOTE]
