[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6075315, member: 48965"] I think most gamers wanting support for their game is a given... That said I don't think the sales of the Pathfinder corebook support this theory of wanting support over errata (though I would call it a revised set of rules as opposed to errata) at all... If it's for the most part compatible (and fully compatible with the earlier releases) and people only want support... then why spend the extra money for a corebook with new/revised rules? Why is the corebook constantly in their top 3 for sales on their website? ... I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion stated above... unless it's just wild speculation on your part. And this seems to be the real jist of the previous hypothesis and conjecture you've been presenting. Everyone isn't you though, best believe there are people who prefer base 3.0 over 4e, base 3.5 over 4e, as well as people who prefer a revised 3.5 (Pathfinder) over 4e. I wonder how much of this view is based on the fact that you personally like 4e... apparently better than the edition you played previously, so for you 4e was a net gain... that didn't happen for everyone and I think inferring that people are whinning for the sake of whinning when it comes to 4e (as opposed to them genuinely not enjoying it) is in bad form.
