I believe a slow and light product release can cause more harm in the long run.

[QUOTE="fba827, post: 6601498, member: 807"] Previous version editions hit exhaustion with the amount of product churned out at a faster release schedule Surveys showed people preferred slower releases (probably to avoid aforementioned exhaustion/fatigue) - it was mentioned in one of mearls' web postings when they were showing survey results over a couple posts Regardless of release speed, if you're not interested in group of products (as was your example) then the speed won't change your lack of interest, you'll simply not be interested in 10 products over the year rather than not interested in one or two products in a year and that is even more wasteful and fruitless for wotc and will kill the edition way faster than anything else. So I would counter argue to you that it isn't the SPEED of releases that you're concerned about but the TYPE of releases not appealing to you - it sounds more like you don't like the adventure based focusing release model and want releases that are more generalized for the broader appeal to grab your attention rather than focused on a story you don't find appealing. and that's fine if it's what you prefer. But personally speaking - at least for now - I prefer this type of release schedule and these types of releases. Time may change that but for now it's my preference.
