[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 670519, member: 151"] Actually, according to the sales and marketing data, as well as discussion from current and former WoTC employees, the splatbooks make far less money than the core books, and softcovers are less profitable than hardbacks. It would might have worked out to be somewhat cheaper for Star Wars fans, but then it might not have. It certainly would have been a bad move for WoTC. Generally, WoTC has made few to no moves in the last three years that I've disagreed with. They have shown a general regard for their customer base, and have yet to make a serious mis-step with the D&D product line (excepting Chainmail, which isn't really D&D per se). I'm more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. [/QUOTE]
