This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Two different companies. One is DNDBeyond, one is Smiteworks (Fantasy Grounds). Of course they planned this all along - it's the identical policy both companies have always followed for new books. The only people ever claiming they would REPLACE the content is the batshit crazies here who don't even fucking play 5e or even have DNDBeyond or use Fantasy Grounds with 5e. It was always stupid to think they'd GIVE AWAY FOR FREE the new content (with replacements) rather than charging for it like the normal businesses they are!

This is slightly disingenuous I think.
The Tasha's class changes to races & classes appeared in my D&D Beyond without me having Tasha's enabled, confusing players. The Volo's changes to monster descriptions were done Ministry of Truth style, without any option to see the old version. So there is certainly precedent.

What you describe seeing there; with automatic changes being forced upon you, is flat out bull shit.  "You will be updated and assimilated!!!"
