Fantasy Grounds not mentioned on dnd.wizards.com
Browsing through dnd.wizards.com for release dates on upcoming products. I noticed that Roll20 was mentioned as a retailer while Fantasy Grounds was not. Hopefully that can be remedied by Smiteworks. Links below to products.

The reason may well be that the Fantasy Grounds product is an entirely different beast from the product as advertised in the links you provided.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

This has Fantasy Grounds mentioned in the "Where can I buy it?" section: https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tab...ngeon-mad-mage But those two new ones don't. WotC probably need a nudge to update...

Those two product listings are for pre-orders, which Fantasy Grounds does not do. Roll20 does.

Is there a public explanation, why there is such a price difference? This actually was the reason for me and My friends to reconsider and move from R20 to FG.

As far as I know that is due to Roll20 mainly although every company has its own agreement with WotC of course. WotC allows some price reduction in that situations (very roughly formulated Originally Posted by Zisse

) but Roll20 doesn't "believe" in sales and discounts which is the reason why they use the full price. Though Roll20 had now some price reductions on some older modules
EDIT: There, https://old.reddit.com/r/Roll20/comm..._sale/e5dgxt0/, is some official answer of Drespar who works for Roll20 (although that is just about sales but it may give some idea about the background of their decision)
