[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5382575, member: 56189"] Really. How many examples of software releases in the world can you cite that are bug free? Do you believe for even a femtosecond that bugs in software are inevitable? Or do you understand that bugs are simply a cost effective drawback that companies don't iron out because they've created a market condition where consumers will tolerate them? I have an extremely low tolerance for buggy software and poor website design and implementation. The only reason for it is laziness and incompetence. Companies have somehow duped the public into believing and accepting this status quo, when in fact the reality is that a bug-free application isn't impossible, it's just far more expensive to produce and becomes less cost effective to iron out the bugs than it is to simply lose 0.1% of sales because of people like me. If people weren't so tolerant of buggy, crappy, amateur-hour efforts, then do you really think that companies would attempt to force such product down our throats? If people didn't buy this stuff, companies would make more of an effort and we'd live in a far less buggy world. But we don't and so we get things like the Character Builder, Monster Builder, GleeMax and now this weak-sauce VTT. Vote with your wallet by not giving WotC money and you can bet they'll either quit producing low-quality digital content altogether, or they'll up their game and actually make the effort to produce something worth paying for.
