[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9749081, member: 725"] In the last 35+ years I've spend more on D&D products then 95%+ of the people that play MtG. Imagine many cases of D&D minis you could buy if the objective was one of at least everyone and for most monsters x12 (the old 3e encounter 'max' size)... Most people are not doing that, I'm not doing that anymore, but you can bet that some folks are still buying D&D products like that. And back when I did this, the D&D minis were still made inhouse by WotC... The issue with micro-transactions isn't that they are there, it's the playing experience without them that's the issue. Most people are fine with playing D&D with just one or a few books, some even don't own any. As long as people can continue to play D&D like that, no problem. The issue with the Sigil 3D stuff is that it's pretty darned expensive to make (good) 3D models, so you need to ask money for it. And as we're seeing with STLs, people are willing to pay for digital miniature files (STL is for printing, which is something else from using them in a VTT). We're also seeing people willing to pay good money for good VTT content, like the Kingmaker and Ember campaigns for Foundry VTT ($120/$100)... [/QUOTE]
