It's part of OneBookShelf just branded for D&D. So they are still giving money to a separate distributor.#2) That link in the first line of the Scourge of the Sword Coast entry? Where does it point? To the home page of dndclassics.com, not the actual product page, making you have to search for it all over again. That's failing ecommerce 101.#3) It's also all PDFs. I think it's a safe assumption that WotC is trying to make money off of physical books, and even if it was owned by WotC and not OnebookShelf, it's still digital only. WotC lacks any online store front for physical books.#4) It doesn't even have their current releases for the current edition. The latest it has are transition/playtest adventures.So claiming that WotC lacks any online store front for directly selling their products, is actually 100% accurate on several levels. Maybe I'm reading into comments, but I think it is a safe assumption that "wanting to buy products directly from WotC" would imply wanting to buy *current* products including the more popular *physical* versions. Even aside from that, OneBookShelf has an online store front for previous edition PDFs, WotC does not.ETA: Also, taking a quick look at the other D&D Next playtest/transition adventures... it looks like Scourge of the Sword Coast is the ONLY one that links to dndclassics.com. Murder in Baldur's Gate? Nope. Legacy of the Crystal Shard? Nope. Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle? Links to Gale Force 9 in order to pre-order a product from 2013!! Methinks Scourge of the Sword Coast is the rare exception, not the rule.</blockquote>
