Unfortunately, gaming companies tend to make their money off selling 
different books for a system. Just having one book makes things fine and 
dandy for simplicity, but it's hell on the company's profits.

As far as Deadlands staying alive, I myself am in a 2nd edition starwars 
RPG, so a system can always stay alive on its own merits...besides, last 
week i found a copy of "pirates and privateers"! bwahahah!
