I assume the game that puts out 3+ books a year is D&D?
I haven't touched that game in a while. I was personally referring to Starfinder and Pathfinder, but D&D might also have that problem now that I think about it.
Things I've said or heard during character creation for these games:
"I know there are just shy of 4000 feats, but...", or "Okay, so your role in social encounters in the group is the face, debuffing-support in combat, in ship combat you're the pilot, so what's your idea for mech combat?"
