Not trying to argue just have been away!)4E's digital stuff had a ton of problems initially, but they did manage a reliable digital offering eventually, which should (theoretically) have lead to easily doing a similar thing for 5E.Failing that, y'know, PDFs or similar would be a decent offering.Failing that, having some kind of digital stuff at least IN DEVELOPMENT would be something.But we've had a triple-fail here! First they ditched all the 4E DDI developed stuff and the developers involved, so avoided the easiest route. Then they have refused to do PDFs or similar (despite early, admittedly super-vague suggestions they would) which would also be EZ. Then Morningstar was somehow a failure and got canned, and not only failed in WotC's eyes, but then attempts a Kickstarter which also failed, showing it'd sorely failed in the eyes of fans, too (quad-fail?) AND, as "the final insult", the Morningstar people SWITCHED TO PATHFINDER!Given this level of serious fail, of intentionally doing things the hardest possible way then screwing them up, I have to say, I believe triple-synonym is totally on point and not excessive.What's really sad is, getting a basic functional, attractive (in a simple way) character builder and monster builder out there is not hard (much like 4E's stuff but maybe even more basic), and would barely set WotC back six digits, and could be charged for, and pay for itself, in like, a month, if that. Just no insane decisions like 4E's Silverlight. I mean man what.</blockquote>
