"If we can stick to the rules then we stick to the rules, but if we need to modify them to make them more fun, or if they don’t work in a video game setting, then we’ll adapt them. The video game always wins in the end."
I don't have a problem with this. Some people do, but I don't think they're being very reasonable. Most of the people who buy this game won't even know the 5e rules. And most of the DMs and D&D players I've known understand and accept the existence of house rules in a given campaign. If some things are a little different than in the books, it's not gonna ruin the game.
