I mean, it'd make buying the books on DNDbeyond a LOT more worth it, considering that a lot of us just use PDFs anyway... I know there are already simulators, like FG, Roll20, and more, but I just mean this as an incentive to get people to BUY THE BOOKS and NOT illegally download PDFs.
If you are referring to Wizards of the Coast creating their own online simulator of a tabletop, your feedback may be better directed at Wizards themselves. As for accessing your digital content offline, you can download purchased compendiums to your phone or tablet through the D&D Beyond app.
Otherwise, I do want to remind everyone that, per the Site Rules & Guidelines, the discussion of illegally obtained material is prohibited.
There are offline VTTs. Also, WotC probably doesn't want to compete with its license distributors (or maybe it does if MTG is any indication...).
I would say that DDB, Roll20, and FG are as much incentive to buy the books amd not pirate them as there can be. I'm not sure what you are actually asking for...
Best way to contact WotC would be through Twitter, most likely. For what DDB actually plans on doing for a VTT type product, we don't have too much info yet. What you can do to have access to the books offline on your PC is to use an Android emulator such as Bluestacks, download the app in there and then download the books for offline use.
@CrugglesMyUggles; DDB, the site on which you are currently posting to their forum, otherwise known as D&D Beyond, is an officially licensed 3rd party (ie not a part of WotC) D&D 5e compendium and tools provider. They offer digital rules resources, character builder and homebrew tools. They do not (currently) provide any vtt like service like roll20 and FG.
Maybe you should have an explore of the site, the features are really cool.

Thanks!

See... I have a flip phone and no tablet... So, the app information doesn't work for me. Thanks though.
Also, how would I directly contact Wizards themselves?
I'm not sure what DDB is, but I know that Roll20 has a LOT of issues, and I hear way too many differing things about FG to use it.
