Why do gamers insist on getting tommorows gaming now at yesterdays prices.
Frankly, I thought that was the one part of the review that made sense. Compare it to the WOD core books, which are in color:

Book / page count / list price

Immortals / 144 / $35
Vampire / 294 / $35
Mage /400 / $35
Hunter / 320 / $35
Promethean / 288 / $35
Werewolf / 317 / $35
Changeling / 320 / $35

Now look at some of the secondary books:

Second Sight / 160 / $27
Asylum / 160 / $27
Dogs of War / 125 / $25

I'd consider Immortals for $25. For $35? No way. I'm not seeing the complaint as "gamers demanding yesterdays prices" so much as "this is an overpriced book compared to WW's other offerings."
