I'm sorry, did I miss the part where someone tried to suggest that if Richie were still in the band none of those things would be missing?

I don't disagree with anything you said; but to play devil's advocate, there's a corresponding rehashed argument that nobody is forcing anyone to buy records, attend shows, or watch videos, either. As the good Captain was quick to point out, a lot of the elements that made Bon Jovi such a great band have been AWOL for a very long time; plenty long enough that no one (or no one with realistic expectations, anyway) should be surprised, or overly disappointed, with what they see or hear.
