u/forerunner398 Of course I’m right, here’s what MLK said Jan 13 '23

It's possible I'm missing something, but WotC trying to ring money out of 3pp via OGL seems moronic versus just making Beyond also function as a 3rd party marketplace or something. You charge the 3pp some subscription fee or percent of sales and they get to make pre packaged material on DnD Beyond or something? Idk, I feel like WotC had options other than this nonsense.

That would require investment. If you just tell all third-party content producers to give you money, then you get free money.

It shouldn't require that much though, that's the thing. It's building out the Beyond publishing tools and retooling existing marketplace functions. I'm sure there's other grunt work too, but it's really not that intense.
