Hasbro are attempting to do the same thing to the D&D brand, sadly. I don't know the details but the idea is to move to One D&D from 5e, which will inevitably come with more online/offline integration.
Why they can't stick (in terms of D&D) with the 'core product' - selling the rulebooks, selling spin-off merch like miniatures and dice, selling books for DMs detailing new worlds and campaigns - I don't know. Dollar signs, probably.
- Tyr42 4y agoJust finished burning a whole pile of goodwill for no gains with the Open Gaming License fiasco. Is it burn user goodwill month? Did someone invite Hasbro and Netflix and not tell me?
- phone8675309 4y agoYou sell a book once. You sell a subscription eternally. This is what Hasbro actually believes.
- Pet_Ant 4y agoI mean it's true, but that's part of the appeal. The TCO of a hobby is a consideration.
- oneoff786 4y agoI feel like most people don’t buy the book either
- washadjeffmad 4y agoI've definitely paid less than the price of a book to scrape a subscription site that wouldn't just sell me a copy of what I was looking for. Beats going to library and photocopying whole books, though.
- oneoff786 4y agoEhh but this is the 5e players handbook we’re talking about. Google 5e handbook pdf and you’ll get results, for free, easily found even if you’re not pirate savvy.
