Editing One D&D (section)

==Microtransaction hell==
Even ''more'' troubling is that One D&D is apparently going down the same route as fucking [[/v/|triple-A vidya]] via [[RAGE|implementing microtransactions for content smaller than book-level]], all for a Virtual Tabletop that also has paid subscription tiers. Even some magic items, my god. So much for that online database being a good thing, since you're going to have to pay to access the stuff you want ''specifically''. This is likely because in their infinite wisdom Hasbro made an ex-Microsoft employee their CEO, which is a bad idea for multiple reasons, and said CEO has stated that [[What|D&D is undermonetized even with the expensive ass books]]. So yeah, if the OGL wasn't enough to erode any good faith WOTC had left, this fucking did.

Fortunately, this has also become a glowing weak spot for the beast, as the corporate obsession with short-term profits has meant that they're more interested in the subscriptions to their D&D Beyond services than any other purchases because it means a consistent flow of money. Of course, the easiest way to hurt such is to cancel any subscriptions to Beyond and to stay off their shitty service once they open up the actual 3D tabletop service. Of course, this happened once the full extent for Wizards' contempt for their own consumer base was laid bare, and as a panic button, [[Wat|Wizards had to hide the cancel subscription button on their website]], hoping that the stupids will forget this offense with time before revealing something only slightly less tyrannical. As part of their aforementioned appeasement, the suits tried to introduce a VTT policy that seemed obsessed with nonsensical aspects that mean little to a VTT, hoping to draw attention away from the real issues. While the OGL issue folded over, there was no word on how they were going to address the issues about the microtransaction-laden system, which means that any further fuckery can and most likely will take place over this as a hill they would desperately die on.
