Especially since they already had it up there and then decided to edit it to remove credits. I'm leaning towards the theory others have expressed above that this was likely someone pulling out some policy or SOP about how the content in D&D Beyond must match the print material. But I even find that hard to buy as erata gets applied to D&D content even if that changes it from currently available print versions, and regardless of customer preference. And, just to be clear, I'm not defending the cost-saving arguments for being stingy on the amount of credits they put in print. I've backed a lot of Kickstarters and have some beautiful books where EVERY backer is listed. The fact that I have credits on TTRPG prints books where those who have contributed to these books do not, further puts this in a bad light. I will say that the one positive thing about this is that it brought to my attention that contributors are not being given credit in the print material. Buy removing credits from D&D Beyond, which cost them nothing, they just further damaged their goodwill and will have to scramble to fire up the PR machine to address it. I predict that they will put the credits back in D&D Beyond. It will be the least expensive way to address this. But even better would be to include in the print book. I'm sure its too late for that. But going forward, couldn't they at least have a link to a page of full credits to everyone involved?</blockquote>
