No. Do I like a $5/$30/$120 VTT module? Sure, just depends on what it is.People forget that when they buy a bear or a cup of coffee, how long exactly is that staying in your system. Of when you get fast-food, at McDonald's, it leaves your body even faster, with effects, and it has very little nutritional value... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And the splitting up of books into small transactions isn't bad for the consumer when they still have options to buy the whole thing at a reduced price. The only thing WotC did was remove options for the consumer. And it wasn't for the consumers benefit, as small transactions have a high cost to the payment provider, so WotC gets less. Plus that they are now 'forcing' folks to buy the whole book instead of just what they wanted/needed.At the same time? Then you would be competing in the same space with mostly the same audience, not something your partner would want. But when the deal with Lego is done, why not also Playmobil.</blockquote>
