The "inside scoop" is, apparently, behind a subscription wall, but the catalog page does a fairly good job of describing what it is.I agree. The buy-in for an experienced gamer who's new to 4e is now the rules compendium + the book your favorite class is in. People who don't want to play a PHB1 class can now save $15 and get errata too.True, but I think it does much of the same job 3.5 did, without forcing a $90 buy in. (Possibly because errata isn't worth $90, given that it's free online!)You make a lot of good points, but I love the cheeseburger metaphor and I think there's something your missing from it: that there are a lot of successful companies that only offer a very small range of products. One good example is Chipotle, a fast food chain that specializes in burritos. Technically, they'll make anything you want if they have the ingredients. Which basically amounts to burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and a burrito bowl. Chipotle is successful not because of it's wide selection, but because the one thing they do sell is very popular.Selling a small number of products can allow a business to focus their development on a few things that people really want and like, and not divide your attention between too many things. Of course, if I don't want a burrito, I don't go to Chipotle. So, it that respect they don't get my money, but somehow that hasn't seem to slowed their growth any.</blockquote>
