[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8894046, member: 7006"] It's not the game anyone need concern themselves about... it's whether or not the D&D Beyond VTT they are putting together catches on. That will be the way to say whether or not any part of all of this is a "failure". If WotC gets their VTT up and running and working perpetually online like they want, and the entire system works well for more people (who haven't already jerry-rigged other online options for themselves to get them exactly in the standard they want)... then D&D will maintain a place in the gaming ecosystem. Short-term losses (or what the blogosphere might call "failures") in the actual game won't matter if WotC's servers remain online and the service is there for people to continually use over the next 5-10 years. And if WotC continues to put money into it and iterate on their design... D&D will always have a place at the table and players will always have an option available to them. The 2024 "game books" selling less copies than the 2014 ones is not really the concern here I do not believe. [/QUOTE]
