[QUOTE="CasvalRemDeikun, post: 5824919, member: 83969"] That would be all well and good if it had any basis in reality. Compare the past four model iterations of cars like the Camry, Accord, or Civic. Each successive iteration bears little resemblance to the previous iteration outside the number of wheels and doors. Oh, and each of these vehicles has steadily increased in buyership every year since they have existed. Certain things are constant, because they are what is necessary to make the car. And with the advent of things like the electric car or hybrid vehicles, some of those things aren't necessary anymore either. Turns out, if you don't innovate, people continue to drive their same car. Lack of innovation equals stagnation. It is hard if not impossible to sell a non-disposable item to someone year after year without changing something noticeably enough that it warrants another purchase. Much like cars, if you don't change some things noticeably, people will continue using their old books. And that is a problem for companies like Wizards of the Coast, because they don't just make books for the fun of it. They make books because they are owned by a multinational toy company that likes selling products. [/QUOTE]
