Hmmm... Interesting. That's a good point.
Any (recent) examples of trilogies or series that fit the bill? (If you mention
Sword of Shannara again, I
will hurt you.)

Come on. That's a complaint which I absolutely don't buy. Like when people complain about certain NBA players making more money than they should, as if they expect athletes to turn down money.
We shouldn't hold others' to standards that we ourselves are not able to meet. When was the last time you turned down money (
significant money) for something you knew you could do, based on purely on 'principles'?
I try to do my best at my job, and think I do alright. But if someone offered me triple my salary to do the exact same thing, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to accept. And I don't think you would, either.
