I have sunk a significant amount of money into DnD Beyond products as well as physical WotC products. The fact that I can not get Volo's on DnD Beyond infuriates me no end. I despise this trend of pushing out Legacy products in favor of pushing 2024 crap products. You want people to leave your game system? This is how you do it.
Volos and Tomb of Foes were removed from sale on ddb over three and a half years ago. You're a bit late to the show to complain about it, that ship has thoroughly sailed. Just pick up Monsters of the Multiverse; it contains all the monsters

And is woefully short on lore. Still a valid complaint after all this time, no legacy book should have ever been removed from availability, only advertised properly as the content having updated versions in print.
It wasn't material worth preserving to the degree people demand(Certainly not to the point of demanding it be sacrosanct lore), since a lot of it was, & this is the most polite term I can use...ANTIQUATED in execution.
It assumed cultural monoliths by birth & race(Which is a real systemic issue that shouldn't be perpetuated by pop culture), & is written from a clearly biased perspective(Volo is a scumbag, but this goes too far)...to say nothing of the lazy porting of the worst of pre-existing DND authors' material, as well as Mearls, Perkins & Crawford's antiquated writing when they actually bothered to write material.

I don't want Monsters of the Multiverse. I want Volos. The fact that it was discontinued in electronic form is unacceptable.
