But Williams and Cocks hope to capitalize on the brand’s popularity. D&D Beyond and the upcoming virtual tabletop represent an opportunity to create a “recurrent spending environment.” Meaning monetization and merchandising, the most powerful force in the universe.

It's weird that WotC is putting out a VTT right around the time that they ban VTTs, and also decide to become the Fortnite of tabletop games.

Also - they're fucking stupid: eff.org/deeplinks/2023/01/bewa…

Though - to be clear - a huge portion of this is sarcasm from me - because the OGL is just kinda... bad - D&D isn't the industry, D&D should die, it almost did, but 5th edition did some really scummy things to keep everyone else out, and so alienating a huge portion of the creators that are sustaining their market dominance is good - at least to me.

5th Edition really did a lot of work to destroy the thriving indie market that literally almost destroyed D&D in 2012, and now I'm hoping D&D will do it again

Just a heads up: you've got a mismatched tag pair here. 🙂

You have a block quote that starts with [quote] but ends with a "/code" tag. At least, that's what I see.
