    I prefer books myself but this move makes sense. A lot of people prefer a digital copy and this kills two birds with one stone.

      Also, they’ve been trying to figure out how to bundle the digital copy with the physical books for some time. This solves the problem entirely.

      You want a physical book? Buy it new and you get the digital.
      Buy it used and you can buy the digital copy separately if you want it.

        That “problem” was solved twenty years ago. It’s not a hard thing to do. They’re only doing it now because they own dndbeyond now.

      But they aren’t giving you the pdf with it either. They’re giving you access to a digitized book that they can cut off access to whenever they want to push the next edition. It’s just another example of Hasbro missing the entire point of the community’s complaint.
