Rumor: After MotMV is released, you won't be able to buy Volos or MToF separately

You can houserule racial armor proficiency back in though, even in DDB.

I guess I'm at a loss for understanding any position which starts from "the designers shouldn't be allowed to update the default game." So long as they provide you the tools to undo their changes at your individual table - which, you know, they have - what exactly is the issue?

Acting as if the consensus doesn't matter in a social game often played with unfamiliar people is willful innocence

It's a lot of melodrama.

There seem to be 3 issues here

1) Moving from a product mentality to a subscription mentality -- you pay for access to things that can be changed without your will, rather than buying things you own
2) Controversial rules changes made by a new team with a different philosophy
3) Those controversial rules changes were said to be optional but are now being declared official, with previous content superseded, alienating people who dislike the changes and/or bought previous products

All of those are valid, and the 1st is an important issue in the consumer space in general these days
