Fair enough. I guess the argument that "We know its overpriced by about 300% but don't care." would be completely valid.
As DnDBeyond isn't advertised as a luxury storefront its going to ruffle some feathers.
Kinda like if Goodwill started selling $500 kegel eggs. Sure, someone may buy one but its not going to be ideal for most of your customers and based on that you'd probably actually make more money selling it for closer to cost.

As a bookkeeper, I am am pretty annoyed at this point when people make wild claims about costs and expenses without even giving a thought about financial statements, let alone touch it and read it. Unless a person has access to Beyond's financial statements or has worked in the financial side of the industry, a person with no knowledge of actual monetary figures, no background in accounting, and no experience in the industry is like a high school student trying to diagnose a patient without even seeing the patient first, or trying to give legal advice to a client without even knowing who the client is.
Claiming something is overpriced when it is not is extremely insulting to professionals who have put in a lot of effort into their work. It would be no different if a customer tells your boss that your boss should cut cost by paying you less because the customer does not think the companies' product is worth that much. It is one thing to say that a product does not fit your needs at the price point it is being offered, but devaluing another person's work is a different story entirely. It is extremely rude and it makes the person comes off as selfish, inconsiderate, and poorly informed at best.
If you think it is so cheap and easy to do, then why not just input all the data yourself into Beyond as homebrew? Nothing is stopping you from transferring the data from your books into Beyond as long as you keep it private and not publish it.

Define 'overpriced' for any luxury good.... This does not have to advertise as a luxury to be a luxury.
Agreed. Toyota is not a “luxury brand” but the still sell an $80,000 Land Cruiser.

Well a car is a necessity for some, for work, grocery shopping (where there is no reliably public transit) or emergency use, but RPG accessories? Really hard to call a necessity for anyone, regardless of how much we enjoy them.
What does “necessity” have to do with “luxury?” Nobody needs an $80,000 car.
