I think the need for strealining everything comes from the fact that the more money is put into a game's development, the same lot of money must be brought back into the ompan again - thus excluding potentil buyers will exclude money - and in result it will possibly result in minus-money, so to say.

That's where collectors editions come in I guess. I've loved the CEs for Oblivion and guild wars games because of the extra reading. Those who want it can pay for it, while those who don't aren't having to pay for something they don't want.
