Why is Eberron being pushed so hard?

[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1696904, member: 6182"] Who said I was complaining? One is capable of accepting a fact and stating it, and telling others with similar standards that accepting the fact is a reasonable thing. While you seem to be implying it, I don't do the sour grapes thing. You can look on the WotC boards yourself and see that I've been on rather friendly terms with Eberron, despite not wanting to purchase it. I can be supportive without spending money on something I don't personally want. That it exists is good. It's getting new money and new players in to the game. With new money comes the possibility of future risk-taking. Who knows, if Eberron increases the D&D playing populous by a million, maybe WotC will, by sheer chance, get ahold of something more classic, and try to market it. While utterly doubtful, maybe they'll even bring Planescape back for a bit, and do it in a manner that the largess of Planescape fans will be happy rather than insulted (after all, PS -did- spawn one of the most acclaimed CRPGs ever made). The current direction of D&D is what is best for the rule set. There's no logic in making it what is best for older generation gamers. We will die before the next generation does. Many of us have an increasing number of distractions (college, kids, and mortgages), which younger persons usually lack. There's also a heck of a lot more youngsters than adults that are willing to try a new game. With Harry Potter, especially, there's a flipping bumper crop to get ahold of. And who knows, maybe the increase in reading in the population will actually lead to a situation that we self-proclaimed intellectuals like, and we'll get what we want because, all of the sudden, it will actually be in demand. Who knows. But if you insist on this vision of me typing with one hand, well, just don't ask for my number, and you can draw pictures if it pleases ya. In the mean time, I'll be happily adding to my own world for but the cost of paper, pencils, and computer power, rather than trying to jury-rig something that I can't even consider selling, that also costs me twenty or thirty bucks a pop.
