I have seen it applied to TSR, Fasa & Wizards of the Coast.

TSR: The whole AD&D vs AD&D 2nd Ed vs D&D and which of these dozen books do I
really need to play? Not to mention their (in the "glory days of TSR) x-thousand
modules in x-hundred game worlds.

Fasa: Walk into any game shop. Find the Mecha rack(s). Find out what you need to
use to play the damn game. Good luck.

WotC. What release of Magic:the Rip Off are we up to now?
