Depending on the context, I'm sure that you're correct.

Yes it is true that it is wise and thrifty to reuse software whenever possible.
Except BC3K 1.0 fully patched was essentially the same as BC3K 2.0 and BCM:G is
essentially the same as BCM with the addition of multiplayer which was promised
in BCM but never delivered. So that is really 2 titles not 4. Other developers
don't claim that a "Gold" release is a new title. Heck if that were the case
then I've seen a half dozen different "titles" all called Heroes of Might and
Magic 2. Actually in the past (IIRC) Derek tried to say that BC3K 2.0 was 3 or 4
releases because he had different distributers for the USA, Europe, Asia, and
somplace else (Australia?)
