I co-run the D&D club at my kids' elementary school. There's about 30 some kids and they all run short campaigns. One of the things the kids love to do is making new characters after each little campaign and because of that, over the course of the last year, I've purchased every race, every subrace, all the special subclasses, a bunch of items, monsters, and more. I spent so much money this year.
Today was supposed to be the start of the final campaign for the end of the year and it seemed like almost every class the kids wanted to make were gone because I didn't own the entire book. Harengon (which was a popular one) gone, Warforged, gone, all of them were just gone. No refund, no message, nothing. Luckily I've made so many characters for them over the last year I can just copy a character made out of something I lost but I didn't make characters for every single class I owned.
It's messed up. I spent so much money on something that pretty much sold a ton of kids on D&D and then stabbed both me and them in the back without any sort of warning or refund. I'm not going to buy the books to get my content back, I'm just going to go to a free site. I spent the money here to support you guys and...damn. This is some Chaotic Evil nonsense, Hasbros.
None of you a la carte purchases should have been removed/revoked. Removal of a la carte purchasing should not have effected previously made purchases. The reason there was "no refund, no messaging, nothing" is because that should not have happened.
Update: While Davyd was right and I was able to still access it, when I explained to the school the increase in funding it would take to access new content, the school opted, instead, to just not do D&D again next school year so...good job Hasbro?
Sad to hear this. It's "beyond" me that they're sticking to this change.
At this point I'm thinking the only way it could be reverted is if their profits drop, but with people buying full books instead of à la carte, it's probably going to go up even though hundreds if not thousands of players will stop purchasing altogether.
Some other site/app will step up sooner or later.
