I disagree. They explicitly said it wasn't a new edition, but a refresh of the current books with a bit of errata. It was more of a visual update for people looking for new copies of the books rather than any sort of necessary upgrade. I don't consider the cosmetic refreshing of a line to be a cash grab, and that is coming from a former action figure collector who knows the same figure on two different colored cards changed the price sometimes drastically. It's only a necessary purchase to hardcore collectors, not to regular players.
