Some products produce glut (overabundance) because too many were printed, while some produce glut because they were poor quality and didn't sell. This is why there was a huge glut during the early OGL days - tons of third party product of mediocre quality that ended up not selling.If [MENTION=2525]Mistwell[/MENTION] wants an even playing field, that is non-moving goal-posts and a clear definition, here's some actual dictionary entries (from Merriam Webster):too much of something : a supply of something that is much more than is needed or wantedan excessive quantityThe first is relatively clear and objective: when supply outweighs demand. The second, however, is more subjective as "excessive" can vary. The key to both is that they are relative - supply and excess relative to demand.But both imply that "glut" does NOT mean, contrary to what Mistwell has been peddling, total number of products in a vacuum; its total number of products relative to demand. The excess of those products that do not sell = glut.  In that regard, I would maintain that 4E glut was worse than Pathfinder glut is. I don't have proof of this but I'd wager that most game stores would tel you that they have had more dead 4E product than Pathfinder product. Dead product = glut.</blockquote>
