[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 8231066, member: 2205"] And yet, isn't that pretty much what happened? 3e was "upgraded" to 3.5, even though there wasn't any percieved demand for that revision? And yes, I bought both versions of some content; Sword & Fist as well as Complete Warrior, etc. And then with the "upgrade" to Pathfinder, or 3.75 if you like, I bought Ultimate Combat too. I didn't really have any demand for any of that, yet I picked them up anyway. And I've never even played Pathfinder. It's well and good to say that they were all the same basic mechanical chassis, and yet both of those "updates" reset the treadmill for most customers, to a certain extent. Granted; I'm not saying that I regret buying this stuff, because I don't. But it argues against the idea that people aren't willing to jog in place on the treadmill. I think clearly a lot of people are willing to do that, as long as the basic system approach is one that they're happy with. They like seeing tweaks and add-ons and options, even if they never use them. Not saying that I wouldn't have [I]preferred [/I]Pathfinder to have literally continued with 3.5, and written their bolt-on rules supplements specifically to work with that, because I would have. But... well, there you have it, I guess. [/QUOTE]
