Well, as in most things, sales do not equal quality (just look at the
software industry for prime examples).

ED had the misfortune of being released in 1993, 'the year of the rpg'.
It had some serious competition including Mage (which outsold Vampire)
and at least 6 other games. If it had come out in 92 or 94 it would have
had more breathing room.
