The Trove provided flat PDFs. Modern "archives" are often much more functional, integrating directly with how people play today—online.

Calling The Trove “better” ignores the real harm. Most RPG publishers are small teams—sometimes just one writer and an artist. A few thousand lost sales can kill a game line. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, when RPG sales surged, The Trove saw record traffic. For indie publishers, that traffic represented thousands of dollars they would never see.
