Hello all, just making a friendly PSA to not purchase books through the new consolidated app, as the prices don't reflect the ongoing 25% off sale. Feeling kinda burned as I just purchased Descent into Avernus through the app and I paid full price + tax for it. I'm hoping the team at DDB are aware of this and can do something to fix this issue, be it the difference refunded or some kind of credit applied. Stay safe and game on!
Never buy the books through the app. It forces the App/Play Store to get a 30% cut.
It doesn't really affect me which for-profit mega-corporation gets my money.
DDB however are NOT getting the full money however. I also wouldnt be calling Fandom, Inc a mega-corporation when you are comparing them to the likes of Apple.
So think of where the money is going, just because you dont care and say it doesnt affect you, if everyone was to buy them through the app that is less money going to pay those who work tirelessly to keep this site open. I would rather all the money going to DDB, than to be filling the pockets of the shareholders and corporations that dont care about anything but greed.
Another way to think of it is like this: That's 30% tip you just gave Apple for ZERO work done.

You will likely find that the app's marketplace as said uses the Apple/Google payment systems, if that is the case then that will be why, the discount is only applying through DnDBeyond's marketplace store on the website. Always buy there and you know all the money is going where it should be, those who run the site and help program the tools to use the contents of the books on the sheets.
Thanks for the tip you guys! I wasn't aware when I made the purchase. I was already using the app and thought it would just be easier but was mistaken lol I was able to get in touch with someone from support and am trying to get a refund now and will repurchase through the ddb marketplace if it goes through.
