Who forced you into buying the splat books? They have never made splat books that you needed in order to play the game so by leaving out products, they are catering to a specific gaming group. I would argue they are less focused on adventures in this edition because we are seeing few but really long AP's with no support for the shorter ones which in shows a lack of focus. What you describe has always been and in previous editions you saw more of. Back in the 1st and 2nd editions we had video games, toys, and a cartoon. During 3rd edition we had some digital tools, video games, a movie, and an MMO. During 4th edition we had a VTT and a character builder. What we have now is a lot of "talk" about expanding the brand but no visible steps in doing that, and at the same time, seeing some neglect in product support. You don't have to buy anything outside the core three. Why do you feel the need to go into a shop and buy anything outside the three and then complain about splat? Why not just buy what you want to buy leave the rest for people who may want it?</blockquote>
