What I (and others) had asked for 5 or 6 years ago, was simply adding an API to the hero lab software - which would allow the already thriving hero lab user community at the time to develop their own apps for the system. Whether that was various live-play character sheets, combat managers, coordinated party management or direct VTT tie-ins, it would have opened up the software to a myriad of various use cases. Instead, they focused on a very narrow focused online-only product, tied to their servers only, that is usable how they decide it should be used, when circumstances allow it to be used, and that is all.

HLO is only a 'fantastic' decision, if it didn't mean the abandonment of the HLC platform. To date, I don't believe they have made any indication that future systems will be developed for HLC at all.
