I don't want to hijack this thread on a tangent, so this'll be my last thought about it.
I don't mean to say that I think there are people at D&D headquarters plotting to make inferior products. But I do think that the "industry" such as it is has used a certain amounbt of dissatisfaction to their best advantage, and even worked their business models around it. Nor do I think that anybody in the industry thinks that there is a single RPG that will be the perfect fit for every person, let alone existing gamer.
I just find the notion of gamer dissatisfaction (often not even articulated) and its effects on the business models of the "big companies" intriguing.
