[QUOTE="Basalt77, post: 5087463, member: 84328"] I agree that there are excellent 'for free' products available. Those free products have a strong following and a great community behind them. Though these free options exist there are still for pay options that are doing well in the marketplace. There is market from one end of the spectrum (expensive premium products) to the other (free). I think that the premium end of the market is underserviced. Of course people aren't going to flock to the expensive products if the free product is just as good. A product that will warrant that kind of money will need a high level of polish and not require users to go 'under the hood.' Keep in mind that when I say premium I'm taking $50 - $100, not $500. If what you're saying is that WoTC isn't licensing their product for a VTT type application because it would impinge on the contracts that they have with video game companies, that's a very valid point and something that I wasn't aware of. I didn't think there would be much crossover with the two products but, now that you bring it up, it makes a lot of sense. [/QUOTE]
