I paid a hefty sum for the source book bundle in November 2022, by this websites own record keeping. I just tried to use two different books that came with the bundle (tasha's and mordenkinins tomb of foes) and they were both part of the bundle. I cannot use them, it keeps reverting me to some page about legacy content and in the encounter creator it blurs out stat blocks. I PAID FOR THIS CONTENT! TWICE BECAUSE I HAVE PHYSICAL COPIES! To make us purchase digital to use it on the website, at full price, then to basically have absconded with my money not even 18 months later and say "we are taking back the books you bought!" is wildly shameful. How do i ether get a refund for you STEALING the books back or access to the damn books. either option will suffice
Aye, as Sposta says there's an issue specifically with those two books and the Encounter Builder. However, you can still use the content for characters and read it etc. However, the Encounter Builder does support homebrew so if you really want to use the legacy monsters in there just make a homebrew copy - it's a few clicks to do so. A few extra seconds for a small glitch is no big deal.
I answered "no" in the poll. They're greedy, sure, but no more so than any other major business out there. So they are not "overly" greedy, which was your question. In fact, they're less greedy than most others. Not many TTRPGs give you everything you need to play entirely for free, which WotC does. And comparatively, D&D is on the lower side of expensive hobbies.

Tasha’s is not now nor has it been in the past earmarked as “Legacy” content. Mordenkeinen’s Tome is, and you’re right, it should be useable, it’s sposta be useable in fact, but there’s apparently some glitch with the encounter builder and the two legacy books (Mordenkeinen’s & Volo’s Guide). You can read about it here: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/186534-mordenkainens-tome-of-foes-encounter-builder).
As far as the Tasha’s content goes, please double check that your Account Entitlements are in sync: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace).
Oh, and to answer your question, they’ve always been greedy. What makes you think there’s anything new about that?
