I was looking over the sales information for the Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club Digital Adventure Pack and wanted to double-check something about the digital rewards.
The digital adventure pack is listed at $19.99, or $16.99 with the Legendary Bundle discount. However, it looks like the Upside Down Digital Dice Set and Upside Down Digital Map and Sticker Pack are only included with the Ultimate Bundle, which costs $59.99 and includes physical components. This is a significant price difference for anyone just looking for the digital content.
Can support confirm if that’s correct — that the only way to access those digital items is by purchasing the Ultimate Bundle?
That’s really disappointing to hear, and I wanted to share my concern about that choice. I totally get offering special bonuses or exclusives with bundles, that’s not the issue. The problem is that these digital-only rewards are locked behind buying a physical product.
For folks who use D&D Beyond purely as a digital platform, that means those digital extras basically cost the $40 difference between the $19.99 digital adventure (or $16.99 with the Legendary Bundle) and the $59.99 Ultimate Bundle. That’s a pretty steep and unnecessary premium just to access digital content in a digital space.
I’ve been supporting D&D Beyond for years, like a lot of people here, and it’s honestly frustrating to see a business practice clearly designed to pressure customers into spending a lot of extra money by tying digital rewards to physical merchandise. It feels like a real letdown from a company that built its success on player trust, especially after years of decisions by WotC that have already tested the community’s patience and loyalty.
I really hope Wizards and D&D Beyond take this kind of feedback seriously and consider making those digital items available on their own. That would go a long way toward rebuilding some of that trust and showing appreciation for the digital fans who’ve supported the platform for so long.
