Thank you and the rest of the team for your dedication to all of this. One question however, is there a plan to address those of us who prefer to not use some of those errata? For example, I like that Orcs and Kobolds will loos their Ability penalties, but not necessarily everything else. Thanks in advance for any info you can give us. Keep up the awesome!
D&D Beyond always works to present the latest and most accurate version of the rules as laid out by Wizards of the Coast. As such, this doesn't allow for a 'pick and choose' approach to errata; what WotC puts out is considered the definitive version of the rules and what DDB will (eventually, once the work is done) display.

Then will I be able to get a refund if the product being provided is no longer the product I was willing to purchase? It kinda sucks eggs if the thing I already spent $30 bucks on gets switcherood on me.
Edit: To be clear, the recent errata isn’t really an issue for me, but I already plan to only purchase parts of Tasha’s come November specifically to avoid stuff like lore changes and the “put your Ability Bonuses anywhere you want” rules. I do not want those affecting what I have already purchased whether I like it or not.
The question of refunds in this particular case would be one for customer services as it's not something I can answer (although that doesn't preclude a member of staff more informed than I weighing in with insights I don't have).
While there aren't any specifics available on Tasha's at this moment, I think it's safe to say that any rule changes will be optional rules and you won't be forced to use them regardless of changes. And I'm not aware of any lore changes that have been announced. It is exceedingly unlikely that anything being released in November will be in any way mandatory.

Thanks Dave. That’s what I wanted to hear (read?). I know it’s not a popular opinion, but I like that Orcs are less “civilized” for example. That’s part of what made them seem so cool to me 30 years ago, and still is today. The thought of “socially conscious” Orcs kinda makes them a little... boring I guess. Like Elves and Dwarves etc. 🥱 I like a little pillaging and marauding in my D&D if that makes sense.
I'll be honest, it doesn't. I like any ancestry in D&D to be anything, civilised or barbaric or anything in between. However, I respect that everyone plays D&D in their own way and each one is valid. Nothing Wizards releases is going to change how you or I plays our own version of this fantastic game.
Unless it’s an official errata and the books I share with my players get changed and I end up looking like the A-hole for saying “no” because I ain’t woke enough or something. That’s my major concern is having to countermand even more official stuff than I already do. (Gorram Wild Magic frickumfrackum.)
Recently there's a significant update of the VGtM from the WotC.
Please see the document: https://media.wizards.com/2020/dnd/downloads/VGtM-Errata.pdf
Hi there,
there was a significant errata released on Thursday, across several books, which we are currently working out the best way to implement.
This is important, as we need to ensure that any changes we're making aren't going to negatively impact users.
Please be assured though that we are working on this. 😊
