Yeah, I have to disagree with you there, Reaver. I've sworn off buying any and all new Shadowrun products (I did so months ago, actually, and it isn't a 'threat,' I stopped purchasing all Catalyst products). But I'm still around, mostly because I have a caveat; if Catalyst can get their act together and actually fix the products they've already produced while maintaining a higher standard with their new materials, I will start purchasing their books again. I can't really pay attention to whether or not things are getting fixed if I'm not around to check, can I?
I love the Shadowrun setting; it is flat-out my favorite RPG setting of all time. I can't get enough of it. I have a shit-ton of the books in PDF, all purchased because I wanted my money to support the products I enjoy. I don't want to walk away from the decades of history this amazing game has. That said, the system and mechanics have been getting kicked in the stomach repeatedly over the last few years. I'm not letting Catalyst's mediocre treatment of the system and certain aspects of the setting to ruin the rest for me, even if I won't pay them to continue messing it up. Sure, my hopes that they'll actually fix things are at an all-time low (they seem to think leaving the current rules unfixed while releasing a new Rules-Lite version is a good idea, and yet again they've promised errata that is now months overdue); but I can keep going for a while longer.
In the end, if the things I want don't happen I'm going to walk away (at least until Catalyst loses Shadowrun from mismanagement). I'll take the current rules and eventually apply my own fixes and adjustments, making a comprehensive home-errata so I can share the love of Shadowrun I have with local players who are leery of playing explicitly because of everything they've heard about the rules in 5th Edition (yes, people in my area refuse to play because of the current situation).
All of the problems do make me wonder if the rumor I heard from a friend is true, though... I have no way of verifying it, and neither did they, but according to what they heard there is a deep-pocketed backer of Shadowrun who provides a significant amount of funding to Catalyst to produce Shadowrun products; they use this funding as a means of influence on the setting. I mean, the initial implementation of CFD sort of fits the bill of a cliched person without a clue going 'I want zombies! With nanites! And everyone is at risk! And there's no way to cure it!'
