This is typical bloat that occurs when marketing people get involved
in trying to sell version N+1 of a product, even if 90% of the
customers are satisfied with version N. You can't make any more money
off those who have already bought in, so you have to push them to
upgrade.
You can ignore me because I'm just one of those sub-human Pod People, but
I
consider 3rd and 3.5 ed D&D to be enormously superior to the earlier
editions.
So much so that I'll cheerfully play & run 3.x games, but I won't run
earlier
editions at all. (If offered a chance to be a player in an earlier-edition
game, I might accept if nothing else is available, but I'll do my best to
convince the DM to switch to 3.x. Not marketing, just a game I happen to
like heaps
better.
