You make a dig and imply that anyone who doesn't agree with you is not "in their right mind". Such an approach is antagonistic, to say the least.In most industries there would be no problem, or argument, if a company only chose to target 95% of their target market (Windows, Mac, Linux).(<a href="https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0" target="_blank">https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0</a>)  Now, for a company that had no product history, and a clean slate, and was designing a consumer software application, their are engines and tools to allow them to build a cross platform application. So maybe, targeting only 95% of your market might not have a valid justification. But I wouldn't explicitly insult someone just because they might have reasons beyond my knowledge to make such a decision.And you base this on what? Industry reports on the number of web-based vs client based applications? Significantly bigger? 5% according to the industry report I linked...Maybe you mean to add phone and tablet users? Except most VTT users I know who have tried VTT's on tablets say they are simply not large enough. And I can't imagine bothering with a phone.Now, throw in the new stick computers like the VivoStick or Ideacentre for $80 that turn your wide screen TV into a computer and the pressure to move VTTs to a tablet lessens significantly.We don't agree. But I would like to know what you base your opinion on. I'm happy to be swayed, but not by opinions without any fact or apparent experience to go with them.Roll20 is specifically a risk, and a higher risk than just a cloud/SaaS provider is. Because they are a small and relatively new software company. Would a SaaS application from Oracle be a high risk? No more than what is inherit in the chosen platform. But they have tens of years of business experience and hundred of millions or billions of dollars to support them. R20? Nope, a few years of history, run by a group of smart well meaning people with a few years experience running a company. Doesn't mean they won't succeed, but it does mean it would be naive to not accept doing business with them is at a higher risk than is inherit with just a SaaS company.</blockquote>
