It's the lack of support for Gurps from Steve... I know that new
books have
been pushed to the bottom of my list for purchase due to his choice in
only producing a hardcover once every two to three months.
It's a matter of very public record that Steve Jackson's choice was to
publish one paper supplement a month. It was the logistical and
financial realities that dictated the slower production of larger
hardcover books.
Which would, maybe, seem reasonable if SJG hadn't sworn that they had
enough books ready to go that they could meet the 1 book per month for
at least the next 6-8 months after the release of the 2 4E core books.
Instead it's taken 19 months to get 7 books. But of course they didn't
lie, they just failed to correctly calculate the logistical and
financial realities of the situation. I wish I could get away with that.
Let's see, how do you think this would go over? 'Well you see Mr.
Financial Institution, I thought I could handle the monthly payments for
that Porsche, but I seem to have miscalculated the financial realities.
Instead, I'll send you one payment every 2-3 months.' I'm sure they'd be
understanding.
