[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6556149, member: 7006"] I am looking at the evidence and making an educated deduction from said evidence. They have said that releasing product at the rate they did in 3E and 4E was not good for them. So they are slowing down their releases. Which they are doing. Ipso facto... they do not seem to need the money they would have gotten from a more ambitious release schedule. Possibly. Or they felt that the game they currently had on the market at the time (4E) did not have enough legs to support a slower release schedule even if they had decided to slow down. They had already released all the product that could sustain things. So they make and release a new edition (getting people to buy and play it) and then slow down the release schedule on the new one instead. Makes logical sense to me. Nope. Because if it is as you say... that they've "gotten it wrong [i]again[/i]"... that would have to mean that they were wrong the first time with a [b]fast[/b] release schedule of 3E/4E AND are wrong with a [b]slow[/b] release schedule of 5E. That is illogical. Thus apparently the only release schedule they could have that would be "right" to you would be the one that YOU PERSONALLY think is correct. And I'm sorry Sailor Moon... but what you want is not what is "right". [/QUOTE]
