[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9623619, member: 7035894"] I agree that that seems to be the underlying fear, but I don't think it is something we really need to worry about. WotC have been very vocal about prioritizing in-person play. And even if you don't trust their word (I know some don't), I don't see how they particularly benefit from trying to drive the game towards primarily online play. It seems like a risky and potentially expensive strategy, and for what benefit? Adding tools that make the game easier to access both online and in person, which is what DDB does, makes sense. That can only grow your market. Spending money to actively shrink probably the largest chunk of your player base (those who mostly play in person) seems like an obviously terrible idea. I definitely would not equate DDB with online play. DDB is, for me, an extremely valuable, time-saving tool, and I think I have only played in person since pandemic restrictions lifted. [/QUOTE]
